One thing I'd like to point out; you suggest 10 times more head trauma comes from auto accidents than motorcycles (I'm not holding you to that number!) but could the reason for that be the fact that there are way more cars on the road than bikes? Wikipedia says there are 234,524,000 cars, pickups and SUVs on the road and 6,686,000 bikes. I think that more than explains the differential in head trauma between cars and bikes. Again, not trying to argue, just stating a fact.
For the record, I probably only wear my seat belt about 80% of the time. Of our 3 vehicles, only one beeps constantly until I buckle up. The second one just blinks a red light on the dash as a reminder (so that one's easy to ignore) and the third has an automatic shoulder belt but a manual lap belt which I rarely ever use. So my bad but I'm fine with it. |
W.B;
I know you are not arguing and even if you were no big deal, it's healthy for good forum discussion.
Of course the reason there is 10 times more head trauma in autos is because there is a hell of a lot more cars on the roads than bikes. No disagreement there LOL.
I guess I should of stuck with simply more lives would be saved if auto drivers wore helmets than bike riders.
Every 13 seconds someone dies in an auto crash. I wonder how many people died in the amount of time it took me to type this post...
