I would make the reverse argument. Someone driving 100 miles today is far less likely to die doing it than, say, 30 years ago. The odds look about 3:1, eyeballing the chart. That, to me, seems like driving is far less dangerous than it was. The fact that people drive <i>more</i> miles today than before is an entire separate concern. One could even argue that making driving safer has also made it more popular, though I wouldn&#x27;t bet on it being a large contributing factor.
