If you're advising us to reject the article due to lack of evidence, it might help if you included any evidence whatsoever for your own assertion. You're not helping to clarify the issue at all here.

  Nearly 42% of all accidents involve alcohol or drugs. [1] Motorcycles are 15% of all fatal accidents, and half of those are "single vehicle accidents." [2] Drivers under 18 are twice as likely to have a fatal accident. [3] Finally, everyone should know: Nearly every single fatal crash in the United States is investigated and the report is put into a federal database. This database is open and easy to access, or download and draw your own reports against. If you care about accidents and want to know more, this is the definitive source and the place to start.
