If you ban cars there are no more car accidents. we can catch a bus or a train, it would be a pain in the arse but it would save thousands of lives a year.
As a society we decide the lives we know will be ended by ownership of cars are woth it for the convenience of car ownership.
Industrial accidents, polution, increases in cancer due to enviromental carcinagens etc. All things that we know will cause deaths but we decide are worth it as a society for our convinience.
