Overall, 42,636 people died in car crashes in the U.S. last year. That's fewer than the 42,884 who died in 2003.
Think about this REAL HARD!
Thats OVER 85,000 deaths in TWO YEARS.
This is terrible and makes it extremely DANGEROUS to drive a car.

someone should sue the car makers instead of the gun makers:
what kills more people, cars or guns?
well in 2002 there were:
2002 total car related deaths = 47939
and
2002 total gun related deaths = 30242
Answer = Cars
2002 intentional car related deaths = 173
2002 intentional gun related deaths = 29237
less than 4% of the gun deaths are accidents
more than 99.99% of car deaths are accidents
When more than 47,000 people die per year "by accident" shouldn't someone look into it?
more than 128 people die per DAY because of a car "accident"
I say it is because of an unsafe product.

I am sick of hearing how much safer it is to be in a tin tube 20,000 feet in a ground than in my car..
Everyone here is "sharp" so why cant you guys determine what statistics are relevant? I thought that was the key to succesful handicapping. Since one trip on a plane is like 500 times as many miles as my trip to the packy why don't they state it in terms of time spent travelling? In other words number of accidents per hour spent driving vs flying?

Last year there were 42,643 automobile fatalities and 556 airplane fatalities. There were 76.69 times as many car crashes. The question is do I spend 76.69 times more minutes in a car. Well yeah I do some years. This makes more sense to me.
