Thanks. Even if the numbers might be small ,here as an example: if there is only 1% stolen bikes on the road but they contribute with 5% of the serious crashes then suddenly we are dealing with numbers that are worth considering. (Note that my numbers here are not factual, I just used these %'s to make a point)
Lets say that from 1,000 fully legal bikes with riders who stay inside speed limits and do not use alcohol/drugs, when they ride it is expected that one has a serious crash per year. That makes it 0.1% of these bikers.
If we then prove that from 10 stolen bikes one bike will have a serious crash this would mean that 10% of stolen bikes will crash badly. But if you do not separate these different categories you would just perhaps accept that 2 bikes out of 1010 has a serious crash making it just below 0.2%.
So why am I going down this track? Well, I do not accept that we should be OK with that the 2% of foreign drivers on our roads cause 7% of the serious accidents.
