Re: Probability of dying (no poker content)
Motor vehicle deaths is a big thing that, while it may be known by some, is largely overlooked.
The per mile death rate is negligable, but when you drive fifty thousand miles a year, it adds up.
If you drive in cities or urban areas, your risk of death is even higher than the equivalent mile driven for rural citizens. If you're a poor driver (which you can usually use your insurance rates as a good measure of), your probability of dying per mile is even higher.
1.5/(100,000,000/50,000)
0.00075 percent chance on an annual basis for frequent drivers (ok, 50k is a lot). That's a pretty substantial figure, and that's for a typical driver. Poor drivers, and those who drive inside the city have an even higher risk of death
