    Because I haven't got it. The graphs aren't the full story.

    Look up "ceteris paribus" and get back to me after reading my post included with the graphs again.

    Posting half the story is never good. Unless you agree with what is inferred with that half story.

    Nah ... can't be fucked ...

    I trust that means you can't be fucked agreeing with what is inferred by a half story.

    Two things would happen:

    1. Congestion would be drastically reduced
    2. Car drivers would be more motorcycle aware

    This may mean that the opposite would be the case.

    What the chart shows but doesn't prove is that proportionally the number of accidents of all types of injury are reducing, which I would guess would mean that it is possible road improvements and driver training may be contributing to improved rider safety.

    It isn't improving as fast as cars however, but this is expected as cars have things like air bags.
