Really though the risk SHOULD be minimum. Following the rules, driving in a defensive manner and obeying posted signs reduce the frequency dramatically and could eliminate fatalities all together. The problem is that many drivers have not had proper/ enough training, and drive with total disregard for others. I drive about 50000 km a year on hiway, secondary, rural and lease roads, I could write for ever about what I've seen and been a part of.
