When it comes to creating do-gooder & federal lawmaker attention drawing fatality numbers, a portion of motorcyclists are their own worst enemy

Inattentiveness
Hey, that is all the same things that cause car accidents, only with higher stakes.
With only two exceptions every motorcycle incident and close call I’ve had were due to my own inattention or lack of observation. Of course I include many close calls that were caused by assuming a cager knew or cared that I was there.
I have found that riding a motorcycle makes me a much more observant driver as well.

Agreed.
However, my heightened observation shows that now I only get even angrier at drivers' lack of attention and traffic intuition. All I can do is  it off.
