>>1813301It's quite the opposite, you have a way higher chance to die driving to the airport once than flying for many many hours.
Aircraft have very high maintenance standards to ensure safety, theyre inspected once yearly and every 100 hours (if you're renting or at a flight school) and pretty frequent oil changes (usually every 50 hours) there is recommended times to replace certain parts etc.
There's a lot more space in the sky than on the road. And a lot less retards there too. As a flight student you will also be practicing emergency procedures for a lot of your training so you will be prepared.
Dont let your parents hold you back from that just call up a place and get a discovery flight before you enroll in a school
