Statistically plane travel is safer.
It is safer to ride in a plane, as there are less annual deaths per year than cars.
In relative terms, less safer than if you are in a car, but more safer than if you are in a plane, or another but smaller boat on the ocean.
research shows that it is safer to fly in a plane than drive in a car but planes crash way to often!
more people have been killed in a car than a plane but that is probably because more people use cars
According to the National Safety Council data, it is safer to ride the bus than drive a car. Their statistics show that it is 170 times safer to ride the bus. For long distances, traveling by plane is the safest overall.

Yes. Statistically, flight is much safer than driving. Plane crashes get more news coverage because, if a jumbo jet crashes, it's a lot of fatalities in one sitting, whereas a car is typically a couple people. But there are a lot more car crashes than plane crashes. In 2012, there were 34,080 reported deaths by automobile accidents in the US. That same year, there were 475 aviation fatalities worldwide.

It is not the car that makes it safer, it's actually down to the driver and their experience, driving style, etc.
it is thicker
It is safer to buy a new car, but generally it depends on the type of car. The model will help determine this answer as well. A newer model would be safer, even if it's used.
