Is this per accident? or pee accidents that didn’t happen with motorcycliats not on phones? People reading phone while driving are just selfish asaholes. Bluetooth exiats, talk to text exists, ok google, ok siri and yet…assholes

It’s per mile driven…

killing a pedestrian per vehicle mile

Motorcycles are exponentially more dangerous than cars, or are you going to blame pedestrians and imply they died because they were on their phones and not listening to obnoxious exhaust despite the Doppler effect meaning you don’t hear it till you’ve been run over?

What i mean is it it only counting miles for vehicles that struck a person, or killed driver, because how do you have stats on vehicles that never report an incident. like i had 60 000 km on bike, no incident, who gathers that for averages, otherwise it is the survivor bias problem

Jesus…

who gathers that for averages

The people who did the peer reviewed academic study I quoted…

It ain’t easy, that’s why it’s not done often and by the time it’s published their data set is already 5+ years old…

You might not like the results, but you that doesn’t matter.
