A lot of the statistics on The danger of mopeds/scooters/motorcycles do not differentiate between a commuter rising to work on a 200cc scooter and a bar-hopper riding home on the freeway on a litre sportbike.
In the US, anyway, half of motorcycle fatalities involve drunk riders.
- kbd 8y ago> half of motorcycle fatalities involve drunk riders Really? I did not realize this at all! I suppose this should make me feel 50% safer on the road as a non-drunk motorcyclist. One time I was out with friends and I'd ridden my motorcycle. As an experiment, I had one beer and then rode home. Just that one beer that wouldn't have mattered at all in a car was very noticeable when riding my motorcycle, and I vowed no alcohol ever again when riding.

Potato paradox, you're way safer than that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox (assuming there's more sober riders than drunk ones, which I hope is the case)
