The average person only owns a fraction of a car, but I do believe that existing on a street either inside or around cars is the highest risk an average person is being subjected to on an average day.
Keep in mind that only a small number of privileged people own a car, but everyone has to deal with them and are subjected to their risks.
That is how it often works with personality cults. The dear leader cannot fail, it is the people beneath that didn’t interpret the words or did the work correctly.
