we should be thankful as it must be a bit more dangerous there: 80% vs our 60% of collisions where its the car drivers fault

I like it

it's what our stats show and pretty much what most other private databases indicate as well - at 80% we'd be a pretty blameless bunch wouldn't we ?

Our statistics do not even show 60%. It is more like 40% of motorcycle accidents are car drivers fault.

our stats are based on all collision claims since 2002 so I am pretty confident the 60% figure is sound

you are excluding any single vehicle accident aren't you ?

Oh, i see, you talking about multiple vehicle collisions. Yep, 60% percent of those can be blamed on car drivers.

So 60% are motorbikers fault?

I find that hard to believe. And I get the "pleasure" of going to a few....... "I didn't see him/her" is such a catchcry from the car/truck/van/ute/taxi/bus driver......
