People who don't drive don't get killed by trucks?

That's news to me.

I was thinking trucks get into accidents with public transportation, as well as run over pedestrians and bicyclists.

The fact that it doesn't appear random doesn't mean it isn't.

Getting killed by medical malpractice is also random, yet we don't really fret over our extremely error prone medical system. We don't even argue for removing doctors working 24 hour shifts, while we wouldn't allow a street sweeper to do the same.
