Why do so many people die in traffic accidents?

In our culture reckless driving is cute and acceptable, as stated in some of these answers.
Just look at how people drive. If Americans thought about the danger from terrorists, and compared that to what we loose on our roads I think people would take the subject more seriously.
Over 50,000 Americans every year, 30% of them teens.
More Americans had died between 9-11 and November 1, 2001 than died in the attacks.

There could be any number of reasons. I'm guessing there is a tie for number one though. Answering a cell phone or changing tracks on the CD player. People tend to take their eyes off the road for an instant. But that is all it takes... is one instant.

Didn't wear their seat belt, speeding, talking on cell phone,drinking, distracted, eating and just plain bad luck.

They think that despite millions of idiots to the contrary that they are somehow "special" and nothing could EVER happen to THEM.

It only takes three brain cells to operate a car, but a lot more than that to PAY ATTENTION to what you're doing and UNDERSTAND what's going on around you. Seatbelts exist for a reason (the same reason that helmets and leathers exist), and if you choose not to use them, then you also choose to accept whatever happens. If the consequences include DEATH, it's your problem, not society's.

Because on holidays like today, ppl. get drunk, run pedestrians over and some don't make it. oh yea there's also seizures.. heart attacks... strokes...etc. etc.

Because the criminals get away with deaths from car accidents.

Inattention to driving is the main cause of accidents.

Most deaths are due to internal injuries.
