Pretty sobering looking at the accidents on my route to work. Although there is not quite as many as I thought there would be.

10 points if you can spot your own!

Own death?
or own road?

On my route to work, one motorcyclist has died while 2 pedestrians and about 5 car drivers died.

Can I use these select statistics to prove Motorbikes are safest?

Made my day that has Unsurprisingly most seem to be at junctions or dodgy bits of road. There's a nice death free zone round where I live though, think if I stay within a mile radius I should be alright

Edit: hmm, didn't realise they gave details on each incident, it's got a boy from school who was run over by a bus (little bit morbid).

I found the statistic that motorcycles are only involved in 1% of accidents but 21% of deaths with the majority at weekends between 12:00 and 18:00 quite interesting.

It tally's up with my experience of driving at weekends where is seems every numpty is out to get you. During the commute in the week its like drivers are more aware of bikers.

There's one by me on a hill, near the top.
If the dot's accurate there's a horrible groove up there that tramlines you. I learned quite quickly that you have to watch it up there.

Nil point.

However, on 8:37am on Wednesday 3rd November 2004, a 38 year old biker died on the M8 in fine weather in an incident involving two cars.

Actually, it looks like he died twice, about two miles apart. Looong slide?

(May be making a point about trusting statistics).

Doesn't seem to be up to date, a lad and his girlfriend who I used to go with to a local bike meet with had a fatal bike crash near Swalwell in Gateshead last year but no sign of that.

Also no blips in Bishop Auckland even though there were 2 last year alone that I know of (one was a Trike so don't know if that classes as something else).

I heard a good statistic recently.

1200 or so people die on the roads every year. Shitting tons of money spent making cars and roads "safer".

6000 or so people suicide every year.

[Shinigami]

On my route to work

6 cars
1 bike
4 pedestrian
2 bicycle
1 goods vehicle
