from what I understand the reason Radon is "dangerous" is that it's a gas that decays inside your lungs and produces particulate matter when it decays. Alpha particles and the like don't travel far but can be relatively damaging to unprotected areas (i.e., they won't penetrate skin). Gamma rays and the like may or may not interact with your body, but alphas will.
Granted, even if Radon decays inside your lungs, there is only a probability that anything bad will happen, and as you've pointed out, driving has a much higher probability of killing you.
