Yup, what Erik said. Of course, I exagerrated a bit but people in cars don't generally run over people on bikes for fun, and a good driver shouldn't get into such situations, right? Bikes have breaks too. I don't know any serious accident that has happened in cases where the driver haven't been speeding or anything like it, but I know plenty bla bla. Dad had a pal once who crashed into a car coming onto the road in 230km/h (approx. 140-150 mph I think) or so.. Split the car in half, flew some 150 metres, probably died when he landed and broke his neck.

I think some things need to be considered in Hell Mike's case
I have no clue what road safety is like in other countries. Although I was speaking from a US-centric point of view, I would tend to believe, people drive like idiots all over the world.

yeah, north american drivers are probably the worst in the road. Though in canada, half the problem is the "barely english speaking" immigrants. I won't state the nationality as it will make me seem racist. But it's true. i've seen some goddam impossible accidents caused by these people.

Plus any speed happy douche bag moron can get a license here (despite the 2 learner stages that suck ass and are a waste of time). The test to get the learner is like: the car in front of you is slowing down. The road is icy and it is snowing. What do you? A: Swerve wildly B: Speed Up C: Scream and veer off the road D: slow down as well.
 
black women are the worst drivers, although white women in SUVs are quickly catching up. neither pay ANY FUCKING ATTENTION TO ANY FUCKING THING on the road. i've almost been killed multiple times by both types.

beaners drive too slow.

crackers drive too fast.

my pals drive 20 year old lincoln towncars and think they are cool.

gooks, chinks, and slanteyes drive too aggressive.

who am i forgetting?
 
no, the azns are the worst drivers. 18 year olds in corvettes going 200mph down the shoulder cause they're impatient or else the rest of them are just retarded.
 
young asians are usually just annoying down here, not bad. they drive 106hp civics but rip off their mufflers, jb weld dual 8" exhaust tips on single pipes, and put enough vinyl stickers on their windows to fill a prison shower floor, then get butthurt when i spank their ass but shut down at the speed limit, only to watch them fly by me angrily 10 seconds later. :)

ahh, you have all teh poor ones. We get the rich arrogant spoiled fucks up here
 
well the rich types are around too, but i don't hang around universities much anymore so i rarely see them.
 
Zod's correct in his reasoning. the obvious problem with motorcycles is that, in the event of a crash, you have absolutely no protection. statistically speaking, in the US, you are 16 times more likely to DIE in one mile than you are in a car. those are not good odds. granted you could ride for 100,000 miles and 30 years without so much as laying it down, but there's always that dumb fuck who turns out in front of you and you end up with no legs.

as far as dying goes, yeah, it's probably not so bad. but that's not what happens to people. you don't just die. i've seen many a motorcycle accident victim languish in intensive care units for months. with modern health care, no one just dies - they suffer and languish.
 
heh, posted the above without reading page 3.
i think it's a fact that immigrants from india-asia are perhaps the worlds worst drivers. have you ever seen the driving conditions in those countries? insane. so they come here, get handed a license and they're off! to commit felony assault with a deadly weapon.
meh, black people really arent that bad. SUV-driving suburbian moms are worse than inner city niggaz. ALWAYS on a mobile phone while reaching back to fiddle with one of their 5 pasty-white children they produced because it is the "thing to do".

correction: the worst drivers are those with a handicap tag on their mirror. i always thought that meant some kind of *physical* handicap - not a mental one. seriously. am i wrong?

Yes. More people need to think this way. A fucking chunk of metal travelling that fast, no number of "safety" features will stop that thing from fucking killing you. Perhaps a similiar process to getting a firearms licence would be smart to use for people getting their drivers licence. Though I guess with America's "every man and their gun" mentality, that wouldn't change much.
