The whole three wheelers are dangerous thing was a Barbara Walters knows best line of BS. Because nobody ever got injured or died from cars, planes, 2 wheel, 4 wheel or anything else right. Why is it that people with an ignorant big mouth in our country can sway the "learned" politician?
From Wikipedia:
"Since 1980, motorcycle ownership among riders aged 40 and over has increased dramatically, from 15.1 percent in 1980 to 43.7 percent in 1998. The mean engine displacement of the motorcycles involved in fatal crashes has also increased, from an average engine size of 769cc in 1990, to 959cc in 2001, an increase of 24.7 percent.
This combination of older riders on higher-powered motorcycles is partially responsible for a steady increase in motorcycle deaths from the late 1990s until 2004.
Half of motorcycle fatalities in single vehicle crashes relate to problems negotiating a curve prior to a crash?almost 60 percent of motorcyclist fatalities in single vehicle crashes occur at night." 2009 4,462 deaths
Yet they still sell them...... Motorcycles don't kill people, car drivers do. So what is my point? You can't protect people from making wrong decision. Be it riding experience or another driver that is not paying attention. Every person that dies on a motorcycle dies doing something they love instead of in a car crash on the way to a job they hate.
