It can be said that everday will have accident in a road,highway and so on.Mostly it happens during peak hours.Statistically,most of the victims are motorbike users.How poor are we because I am one of the motorbike user.Can anyone give some idea or opinion about this?

I don't mean to offend you dear because I will not say that all motorbike users are one and the same but the number one reason why motorbike users are figuring in accident always is because most of them do not obey traffic regulation. Most of them have the habit of getting into even the most delicate side of the road just to find a way to speed. I was in various times almost hit by motorbike who just popped up from nowhere while I was confidently crossing the road because all the vehicles were at a halt anyway. Now this officemate of mine last Sunday was so annoyed because his brand new car was hit by a motorbike at the rear side. Imagine the motorbike was tailgating. The driver was not giving enough distance between him and the car so when the car stopped because the car ahead of him stopped the motorbike hit his rear and of course the motorbiker is the one to blame. I mean motorbikers must realize they are always in the losing end in every collision. They are the ones who are most likely to hurt or worst die so why is it that many of them are speeders and traffic violators?

well statistics dont suprise me at all as I have seen many (see I am not saying all motorbikers) drive like they are the only people on the road. Just the other day in heavy trafic we saw one that kept overtaking cars and truck when it was so not safe to do so he came so close to crashing so many times that I had my mobile out in case I had to call someone.
