Probably one of the best replies I have read here in a long time, good job.
The only thing I would add is that society views collisions as "accidents" and chalk it up to poop happens. The perception is slowly being changed in some professions to call them "crashes" to try and curb societies flippant attitude toward them. They happen all day in cars and no big deal. They happen on motorcycles, usually with grim outcomes, and a good percentage of the public thinks that is what the rider gets for riding a "murder cycle" and only fine the car driver minimally.
