Interestly, its not really inattentive car drivers that make motorcycling so dangerous.
Because of their small size, single headlight and rapidly changing speed, the human brain can't accurate identify, and track them. Especially at night or in adverse weather conditions. So drivers cut them off all the time because the brain does not process the information correctly.
Combine that with the average aggressive driving, speeding, tailgating, and other dumbass dangerous behaviors that I see motorcyclist do daily and the death rate is shockingly low in my opinion.
I spend a lot of time driving and have seen around 20 motorcycle accidents happen over the years. Only one was another drivers fault and not caused by the absolute stupidity of the motorcyclist.
In the Netherlands, bicyclists were always second place in deaths just behind people in cars. Most accidents which causes death are between a car and a bicycle. When the e-bike got trendy. We've seen a big spike in bicycle deaths in 2023 causing it to be the nr 1 cause of death in traffic. The Fat-bike is a big problem here. Its trendy among kids and realy easy to disable speed limiters. Percentage wise I couldn't find anything this fast but it does look like people in cars just don't see them or pay attention to them as the drive faster. I think cameras checking the surroundings is the best hope in getting those numbers down.
This is really sad, I don't want to drive a tin can of death just so I am more protected from others driving tin cans of death :(
At least I don't drive e-bike and use bike lanes ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Thanks for the information. In crashes where phones weren’t a factor I can see how these things would be true. I’ve had some near misses myself, usually with the asshats. Surely still true with a phone involved, but anyone looking at a phone while driving loses any and all other considerations in my book.
