    You don’t necessarily have control over your own fate when driving either. You can’t stop a drunk driver in a huge SUV from plowing into your car as you’re crossing an intersection and they ignore the light.

      No, but you have more control. You have control over the condition and maintenance of your own vehicle, and you have a chance to defensively avoid collisions. Like the intersection example, I always try to look both ways at an intersection even when my light is green. If I get on a plane where the pilot is drunk or suicidal and the maintenance was not done to spec, I have no control over that.
