And one of my dearest friends was killed driving a car, so I would
advise you not to set foot in one again. People also die in buses and
airplanes so you should really knock that off as well.

Rarely, in planes - safest form of travel there is. And I know that
after we had a minor shunt in our car, it was a very long time before I
could relax in one - as one of my friends now cannot, since she, too,
had a shunt.
