And that's a huge reason why so many remain so ignorant to the dangers of driving. It's so completely ingrained in so many places. Most people typically don't fear the familiar.
But "big city crime" tends to be highly concentrated in very specific areas, and is thus more foreign to a much VASTER swath of people, and therefore more easily feared, even if the danger it actually represents to them is far less than the danger they face getting into a car multiple times every single day.
