What might that "significant" number be, expressed as a percentage of

That is hard to measure since the act is not as overt as hanging
yourself or eating a gun

Driving 100 MPH on a winding road may mean you are having the "be or
not to be" moment but you are just leaving the answer up to chance and
luck.
Toss some alcohol in there and it even becomes murkier.

Cops, families and insurance companies are reluctant to call it
anything but an accident.


Are lot more death by car suicides than are listed. Much easier for the
heirs to collect insurance from a car death. I remember a lot of years
ago, a man decided to commit suicide near here. Was US50 instead of I580.
He survived driving the wrong way into another car. Killed family of 5 in
the other car. An accidental shooting is probably as responsible action
than driving drunk.
