Simply put, people don't like wrapping their genitals in pieces of plastic. It doesn't feel as good, it takes time. The abstinence people aren't so far gone as you might think when they emphasize monogamous relationships over simply not having sex. The most successful way to avoid disease and pregnancy is to delay sexual contact until you are in a stable relationship.

Designated Driving doesn't have a huge impact on alcohol related fatalities. Removal of cars on the road does. Even with the most strenuous check-stops and education, it's very hard to get sober driving rate above 50%.
Simply put, people don't like operating a one-ton bullet without being bleary eyed. It doesn't feel good, it takes skill. The ride-a-bicycle people aren't so far gone as you might think when they emphasize manpower over not burning fossil fuels. The most successful way to avoid drunk driving and fatalities is to not use a vehicle until there is nobody else around to deal with.
Why am I mocking you? It isn't that your facts are wrong per se (no sex = no diseases/pregnancy....duh), it's that you (seem to) have completely missed the point. Just because condom use doesn't stop 100% of STDs or pregnancy doesn't mean it's pointless to teach. Teens are having sex.....at least teach them how they can do it safer. Condom discussion in sex ed isn't about winning the war, it's about winning a particular battle.
