I minimize my risk of traffic-related accidents by being a good driver, keeping my well built car in excellent shape, testing the ability of my driving and vehicle from time to time in safe locations, avoiding certain traffic situations, etc.

That's preventative.

Many people do this to some degree, whether they are aware of it or not. If they didn't, far more than 40,000 would die annually.

Lets hear from residents of Israel about what precautions they take. They've had close to a half-century of experience in this. Clearly they do not act as we do in our society. How many US banks have you been in where patrons carry machine guns? How many homes here have shelters and gas masks vs there?

Then we ask ourselves "Do we want this?". The answer, "No" I am sure.

But how to change the outcome...
