AB One  thousand  and  eighteen  more  Americans  died  in  motor  vehicle  crashes  October  through  December  2001  than  in  those  3  months  the  year  before,  according  to  researchers  at  the  University  of  Michigan's  Transportation  Research  Institute.  As  those  researchers  observed  “…  the  increased  fear  of  flying  following  September  11  may  have  resulted  in  a  modal  shift  from  flying  to  driving  for  some  of  the  fearful.”1  One  thousand  and  eighteen  people  dead,  more  than  one-third  the  number  of  people  killed  in  the  attacks  of  September  11,  in  large  part  because  they  perceived  flying  to  be  more  dangerous  and  driving  less  so,  despite  overwhelming  evidence  to  the  contrary.
