Yes, but if half of all accidents involve idiots, not being an idiot is a legitimate way to reduce your risk of being in an accident. Meaning drivers do have some control over their level of risk behind the wheel.
half of all accidents involve an idiot, but there only has to be one idiot in a two car collision.
Reduce risk, not eliminate it. Do idiots and non-idiots have the same risk of getting into an accident?
