talking statistically, not anomalies. I drive an ambulance myself, I legally run redlights every day. I understand youre talking about your perspective but im specifically weighing against my first hand experiences to be more realistic. I’ve had much worse encounters than being rearended, I’ve had a partner be hospitallized from someone hitting our ambulance. Your experiences are valid but they aren’t the whole truth. I still feel comfortable riding motorcycles. And yes I’ve worked motorcycle crashes. At some point perceived risk outweighs realworld risk. And if you can avoid hitting something and prevent yourself going off the road, then your real world risk is significantly lower than people think.
I’m not denyingmotorcycles are dangerous, but they are dangerous (almost only) when used dangerously
I’ve been rear-ended three times in my car, twice while I had been stationary at a light for at least 5 seconds
Things like that are pretty much out of your control and go from annoying in a car, to injury or even death on a bike
