This is interesting... the problem comes at the end... Besides the guy being an idiot...

"Eighty percent of fatal motorcycle collisions are now the fault of the rider," said State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste.

"Half of fatal collisions don't even involve a second vehicle," he notes.

I find these "statistics" highly suspect.  According to recent stats Washington had 69 motorcycle fatalities, 1/3rd involved drugs, 1/3 involved alcohol, 63% involved "speed"... this includes bikers and cagers. I will have to research the single vehicle crash rate statement.

Again, folks can torture stats to say what they want.
