I'd take slight issue with this. Having untreated depression and working at heights are also dangerous but driving is by no means safe. As @brotundspiele@feddit.de pointed out driving is safer in most other developed countries than it is in the USA. Simple behaviour and policy changes can make it substantially safer and the fact that drivers don't take the danger of driving seriously is a huge factor making it more dangerous.
