I would have guessed motorcycles are more deadly.
- CydeWeys 4y agoOnly to their own riders, not to others. Plus motorcycles are a tiny share of overall motor vehicles on the road.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoMotorcycles are more deadly for the rider. Cars cause more danger for everyone else.
- NoImmatureAdHom 4y agoMotorcycle insurance is cheap!
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoBecause people who self select to drive some alternative vehicle for fun are a safer demographic than the general public because the "I don't like commuting so I'm gonna do my nails and post on HN about how cars are evil while sitting in traffic" types are absent in the former group. If the general public started driving motorcycles it would get more expensive.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoWell, motorcycles are cheaper to fix/replace, and being much lighter than cars, are less likely to cause property damage or injuries to other parties.
