"2) You are FORTY SEVEN TIMES more likely to DIE while riding a motorbike than you are a car. That's NOT 47 PERCENT.... it's FORTY SEVEN TIMES!"

And why is that?

Because the majority of fatal accidents to motorcyclists are caused by OTHER road users (see quote below, and link to reference), so it is NOT motorcyclists that need educating, is is car, bus and truck drivers et-al to actually SEE them on the road.

"Recent European research reveals that nearly 70% of motorcycle accidents involved a car, lorry or bus and that approximately 55% of accidents occur at junctions. It is unlikely that in all these cases the motorist failed to look but rather failed to see the motorcyclist."
