    Hmm. Motorcycling might be higher or counted together with driving a car. I forget the stats.

    The others generally aren’t used as methods of transportation, but instead are generally recreational activities.

      Motorcycling is orders of magnitude more deadly on a person-mile basis. It varies a lot by motorcycle type, experience level, helmet. DUI also statistically has a heavier correlation with fatality in motorcycling (I’m not 100% but my understanding is that motorcycles are significantly harder to operate in such a way that dui effects are multiplied).

      I’m not sure if this is actually relevant to your discussion, I just like to discuss the reality of motorcycling (as a person who rides).
