Where I live it's more palatable 1/22k/year, and a lot of that are thrill seekers on motorcycles, drunk drivers etc.

More importantly, driving a car gets me where I want to be, not just triggers an unexpected condition bug in my brain.

There are just a lot of similar risks like these in life. Camp in the wrong place for example and you might lose the ability to eat red meat [1].

I think it's irresponsible to tell people to take this or that drug since we still don't have good numbers on the risks. But I also think telling people to completely abstain is dumb, and the government trying to enforce complete abstinence even more dumb.
