Most people would think twice about flying on airliners knowing that 2885 jumbos crash each year killing all. That is reality of road transport. Severe injuries: 36 thousand jumbos crash landing. Likelihood of being killed on the road is something like 1 in 200 (need to find ref).

Financial cost of road traffic accidents estimated at over $120 billion in the US and over $193 billion in the Europe Union. (Found in slideshow from Delphi Automotive Integrated Safety Systems - need to find source).
