Don’t be a r**. The entire argument is built on this data from DOT. This is very well known.
The data doesn’t support the claim that the vast majority of accidents on a per mile basis occur while driving close to home rather than on road trips. The DOT also appears to have published on the side of “replacing air travel with driving will result in an increase of fatalities,” [1] so you’re not even right about your other claim.
“It is known” is not a good basis of argumentation.
