The risk of me causing an injury accident is demonstrably lower than for
the
general population. This is because injury accidents are closely related
to
speed, and I demonstrably drive much slower than the general population in
most situations.

I have to disagree with you there. Speed is not a killer, merely a
difference in speed. A fleet of cars all travelling at 90 mph down a stretch
of road (where the lie of the road permits) is just as safe as them doing
60. If you are driving, as you say, demonstrably slower than the general
population then you yourself are at risk of causing an accident through
being the one doing 30 when everyone else is doing 40 - you are introducing
the difference in speed which causes accidents.

The risk of me causing an injury accident is higher than it would be if I
didn't travel, or travelled by public transport, which is something which I
am only sometimes able to do currently. This is one reason why I argue for
improved and extended public transport.

There needs to be far more effective and widespread road-based feeder
services for things like railways and airports. I'm rather lucky that
despite the backwater village of no hope I found myself doomed to live in
for the last 20 years, there is a fairly decent connection to the local
railway station, a journey of 25 minutes by bus, and 15 minutes by car.

I'd be willing to wager that there's not many small villages that have such
fortuitous rail connections.
