Well you covered that brilliantly.
Your description was spot on of all the reasons I also do not enjoy driving or riding the scoot. I had two close calls even today. Russian Roulette with a steering wheel and a 3500# (or heavier) bullet.
Here is a few stats from up here.
Source..: Yearly snapshot
A total of 42,939 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2021. These deaths occurred in 39,508 crashes involving 61,332 motor vehicles. This was a 10% increase over the previous year.
The hidden stat nobody talks about...
+78% almost every year of the big truck involved crashes with or without fatality are caused at fault of the smaller vehicle involved. 😳
Big numbers indeed. It's crazy really, these things are avoidable, most anyway, but people don't seem to care enough about it...or are so delusional that they think it won't happen to them. But it can, and does.
