It's pretty simple really.
1. COVID (in Australia) has an adult mortality rate of 5.22 per 100k of adult population.
2. Influenza in Australia during a bad year like 2019 has a mortality rate of 4.139 per 100k but is more normally about 1.68 per 100k and has been just about zero the last 18 months.
3. As a driver, the road death mortality rate in 2020 was 3.0/100k and for all vehicle occupants 4.044/100k although it is worse if we include pedestrians, cyclists and motorbike riders.
