The average driver isn't crashing.

Statistically, the average motorist is involved in a crash every 10
years...


That statement could be misleading:

Assume 1000 drivers.

In ten years (3650 days), that's 1000 crashes.

It could be that the SAME driver is having a crash ever 3.5 days, while the
other 999 drivers are enjoying a crash-free life style.
