Quote:The National Safety Council compiled an odds-of-dying table for 2008, which further illustrates the relative risks of flying and driving safety. It calculated the odds of dying in a motor vehicle accident to be 1 in 98 for a lifetime. For air and space transport (including air taxis and private flights), the odds were 1 in 7,178 for a lifetime, according to the table.

Well I rarely travel more than a county away from putnam/st. Johns but if for some reason I ever have to make a long trip I'll do whatever possible to avoid flying. It's not even the flying that bothers me it's the loss of control.


I hate riding passenger in a car much less strapping myself to a plane and saying have at it boys! Then the whole TSA horror stories you hear, no thanks this redneck will drive.
