“motorcyclists were nearly 29 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash per vehicle miles traveled.”
No thanks.

Which is not to say your concerns are unfounded. Just means we need safer streets. :)
I've known numerous motorcyclists throughout my life and very few of them have had a crash. They're all middle age or older, well educated, and not thrill-seeker types.
So many bad drivers are on the road that my vehicle purchases are guided by safety over other factors.

This surprises me. I know a decent number and more than half of them have had a crash, all have close calls. Mostly avoiding another vehicle or laying down because of gravel or oil on the road surface.
