OK, stats they give don't make sense according to ALL other studies done (Hurt Report, et. al.)
2006, Florida had 119 Fatalities, of those, 109 were due to "CARELESS AND RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR AND SPEEDING AT UP TO THREE TIMES THE SPEED LIMIT". This didn't count any fatalities investigated by County and Local Law-Enforcement. (?!?)
I don't get it; every other study shows that something like 80% of all fatal Moto-crashes happen between 25mph and 40mph, with half of those being the fault of a left-hand turning automobile violating the moto's right-of-way. And over HALF of the single-vehicle fatalities are due to alcohol-inhibited riding.
(keep in mind that other 20% is divided between BELOW 25mph [parking lot speed] and ABOVE 40mph)
Even new (Euro) studies still bear-out the evidence in the Hurt Report.
Did they somehow suspend the Law of Averages in Florida? The other ten of this 119 total, were they the only motorcyclists "minding their own business" and not actively terrorizing humanity at-large?
Yeah, I know: Lies. Damn Lies. Statistics.
F'em. Especially this talking head, Carlos Lopez-Canterra. He's probably one of the most-violently-opposed to lifting the U.S. Trade-Embargo on Cuba, too.
