I’d consider those driving motorcycles to be more prone to take risky maneuvers.
Wonder how the graph would change if they drove like regular commuters to the destinations (e.g. not weaving at traffic lights, not speeding for the thrill, no wheelies and other stunts).
Weaving in at traffic ligths, aka lane splitting is significantly safer for the motorcyclist, since at a red traffic light the most probable accident is getting rear-ended, which is way deadlier for a motorcyclist.
I’d be interested to know if motor scooters/Vespas were lumped in with motorcycles. I’d wager a 99cc scooter has a lower mortality rate than a crotch rocket or a Harley.

Ok. Then weaving during flowing traffic like ski slalom.
No need for that, right?
