You're basically agreeing with me

Fear of your kid being hit by a car is just perception

driving them to school with the false sense of security that when they are with their parents kids are safer is more dangerous

Well, it is a real fear, especially when kids are playing instead of going somewhere.

However, driving the kids to school is probably no better than them just going on their own looking at stats of car crashes with kids involved.

Anyway, as expected, parents tend to behave highly irrationally when safety of their own children is involved.
