Driving risk statistics are sort of artificially inflated by deaths and injuries of motorcyclists and DUI/ DWI drivers involved in single-vehicle crashes. If you avoid putting yourself in those categories then driving is much safer than the raw statistics suggest.

There's also a huge variance in risk based on what vehicle you drive. Some larger vehicles have a statistical driver death rate close to zero.
