Sadly, if true, it's a low bar. Too many people have horribly unsafe driving habits and contribute to the bulk of carnage on the road. Skill levels vary a lot, even for "professional" drivers. (I'm looking at you, semi driver, who tailgated me at 60 mph and had the gall to honk because I left a reasonable distance between my vehicle and the semi in front of me. This in traffic too heavy to do anything but go with the flow.)

Also, I'd find the statistics more believable if they were published by an unbiased third party.
