It projects that motorcycles are dangerous by distance driven, however you drive a moyoorycle way less than a car, so I would like to compare to actually death numbers. Because I might do 1000 miles in my car in a week, but only 20 on my motorcycle. So am I more at risk? Or no, because I’m traveling 100x less miles. That’s what I mean.
But that’s the whole point of normalizing by distance traveled. If you drive your motorcycle 100x less and it still kills you, then that’s evidence that driving motorcycles is more dangerous than cars.
I’d need to correlated with amount of deaths per vehicle and actual stats of real motorcycle distances.
I understand there is no safety cage and inherently less protection. But there is a skew here.
Like if we add deaths by riding a shopping cart and it happens once in one mile, then you have a billion deaths by this charts logic; The stats get skewed in small sample sizes.
There is not an evident skew, and you haven’t been able to articulate the source of one.
The number of miles motorcycles are ridden and the number of motorcycle deaths is unfortunately not a small sample size, so your shopping cart example isn’t really a great analogy.
2022 study, motorcycles accounted for 3.7% of all vehicles sold but only 0.7% of all miles travelled. It is too small a samples size to be a good comparison.
0.7% of all miles travelled is still a pretty fucking large number, infact, according to these numbers
0.7% off all vehicle miles in 2022 was still was 224 Billion miles

OK , that is a lot then. Which makes sense for USA - being so stretched out compared to other countries.
