For me, vehicle safety and gun safety aren't in competition, regardless as to whether one views guns as fatal weapons or tools.
Guns and vehicles aren't contextually related, and I have the capacity to be concerned/interested about more than one type of public safety at a time instead of trying to stuff them into the same bag.
Anyway, I read about 3 teens dying during a drivers ed class in New York earlier this year, very sad. The instructor wasn't driving the car and a truck driver side swiped the drivers ed vehicle and caused the accident. But, I'd find it ironic and worthy of a separate discussion if I started reading story after story about drivers ed teachers causing vehicular injury/death to themselves and their students too.
