The truth is that there is always a possibility that something could go wrong. The only way to avoid it is to do what you can to minimize your risk. While I am a pessimist, that doesn’t mean I am always right. I am more of a “don’t go there” kind of guy.
I agree with you, but I’m not sure you can quantify risk. It’s like saying, “If you’re going to do X, do Y, and Z.” Well, that means you have to, well, do these things and then you have to do these other things. So you can’t just say, “I’ll do Y, and Z, and C.
Yes, you can, but the key is to not over-estimate risk. Like the other day when I was driving home and I remembered that I left my car at the bus stop. There are so many things that you can do to minimize your risk. A lot of the things you can do to reduce it, like putting your car in the garage or leaving it at home, are ways to minimize your risk.
The risk is the probability of being in an accident, the probability of dying, the probability of getting hit by a car, the likelihood that the car will kill you. These are things that people can’t control, and the more you can control these things, the less risk you have. So I just took a quick look at the various things that I could do. I’ve got my insurance card at the ready. I’m wearing my car’s seat belt.
Most people think that if you have insurance, you can save a little bit of money by just taking it out every now and then. This is a good thing, because it means that if something were to happen and you didn’t have insurance, you could end up in the hospital or have to pay out of pocket for the medical costs. But it also means that you probably won’t have insurance, and that you are subject to the same risk that people without insurance face.
The fact is that you have insurance if you have a motor vehicle. The people who were injured on the bus were in the same situation, so the same rules apply. In general, the risk of being involved in an accident without insurance is significantly less than the risk of being involved in an accident with insurance.
I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they don’t have insurance, and that this is all a big deal. I am not sure what the rules are, but I’m pretty sure that if you are uninsured, you are going to be responsible for all of the medical costs you incur as a result of your injury or your condition.
In some states, as in the state where I live, you have to carry liability insurance for the auto. And this is true for anything that is an automobile. I am not sure how this applies to a plane, though.
While I cannot speak for the FAA, I can say that I am pretty sure that I do not have personal auto insurance, so if I were to take a plane, I would probably not have my insurance. This is because if a plane crashes, the passengers are also covered, so I would not have to worry about my plane crashing or if I had to pay for the medical expenses.
Now let’s make this more complicated than it has to be. When I was a child, the family that owned a large farm in the east of the country would send us to pick up some hay that they were going to use on their farm. Of course, I was so excited that I was pretty much uncontrollable when they told me what to do. Of course, they were not kidding. I loved picking up hay and I loved riding in a wagon.
