It's unlikely to happen though. In the meantime don't worry, there is a much higher probability of you dying from something other than a car accident.

Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 01:49 PMMathematics do not lie. In 20 years we travel 10,000 times from home to work and back. If the probability of an accident is about 0.01% per travel then 10,000 travels increase it to 100%. 100% means the certainty of the event. If the accident has not happend to me it means that someone else had two or more.
