Driving in the United States Risk Calculator
Driving is common in the U.S., but it carries real risks of fatality and serious injury. This calculator estimates your expected risk over different distances, times of day, and seat-belt use, based on national crash data.
Your Inputs
Choose your driving conditions below:
Select your distance of travel: [{"distance_label":"100 miles","distance_miles":"100"},{"distance_label":"1,000 miles","distance_miles":"1000"},{"distance_label":"100,000 miles","distance_miles":"100000"}]
Driving at night increases risk because more crashes happen in fewer miles: [{"time_period":"Day","time_fatality_multiplier":"1.0","time_injury_multiplier":"1.0"},{"time_period":"Night","time_fatality_multiplier":"3.56","time_injury_multiplier":"1.47"}]
Wearing a seat belt greatly reduces the risk of death or serious injury: [{"belt_status":"Worn (car)","belt_fatality_multiplier":"1.0","belt_injury_multiplier":"1.0"},{"belt_status":"Not worn (car)","belt_fatality_multiplier":"1.82","belt_injury_multiplier":"2.0"},{"belt_status":"Worn (SUV\/van\/truck)","belt_fatality_multiplier":"1.0","belt_injury_multiplier":"1.0"},{"belt_status":"Not worn (SUV\/van\/truck)","belt_fatality_multiplier":"2.5","belt_injury_multiplier":"2.857"}]
Your Results
Your estimated chance of being in a fatal crash is {{One_in_X:{result}}}.
Your estimated chance of being injured in a crash is {{One_in_X:{result}}}. Note: Injuries are police-reported injuries.
