Even if it were true, the number of deaths due to motorcycling is a drop in the bucket compared to other causes.

People who do not ride would have us believe it is more dangerous than it is. I do not think that riding is without risk, but I believe the non-riding public overrates the risk because of fear and ignorance.

But the fact is that elections are coming up and politicians love to be perceived as "doing something".

They misrepresent everything else they legislate. Why should we expect to be immune?
