Do you have any data on the number of drivers on the road that experience head trauma? In a car you have seat belts, air bags, crumple zones and numerous other factors to alleviate head trauma. I would expect head trauma in car wrecks to be very rare and only in the very most serious wrecks. I notice that race car drivers do wear a helmet. I think that probably makes sense.
