In a word, yes.
A car crash doesn't happen in a vacuum. I would bet that 99 out of 100 automotive crashes are caused by driver error, and not a mechanical failure or some external force.
If someone is too cheap to buy a plane ticket, and is a poor enough driver that they wind up dead... so be it. Personal transportation is the responsibility of the individual, and it's not society's fault when they suck at it.
The fittest shall survive. As a species, we've long since wandered too far from that idea.
In fact, I'd be in favor of requiring everyone to ride motorcycles.
