And yet people have very little angst getting out on a road filled with other people poorly driving massive overpowered vehicles at high rates of speed.

Probably because these people have a false sense of control when they drive.

I would guess you can decrease your driving risk if you want by 90% by driving sober, not speeding, not tailgating, and not playing on your phone.

Not complete control, but pretty good.
