Motorcycles are dangerous AF. You are actually less likely to die driving drunk in a car than fully sober on motorcycle. I'm pretty sure most folks here consider drunk driving pretty irresponsible. There's a reason ER docs call those things "donorcycles"
… because you will get hit by a drunken car driver while riding, it seems
Not so much that but more that motorcycles have much fewer inherent safety features compared to a car like fuckin' safety belts that keep you from flying head-first into a tree. You are 30 times more likely to die per mile driven on a motorcycle than in a car.

You’re playing Russian roulette with a theoretical hundred chamber revolver. Dude in a car puts in one bullet, spins, and pulls the trigger. Dude on a motorcycle puts in thirty before their turn. Most people watching would put a raincoat on before the motorcycle guy pulls.
That is a fuckton more risk.
I understand why, just find the wording very poor
Still, thank you for the links to statistics
