    Fine but do it legally, and in a way that doesn't cause a problem for other road users.

    No, really. Because I was making a VERY serious point.

    All those stats prove is that one form of transport is more popular than another. Not that one is inherently less safe than another.

    Its like those Donkey/Airplanes stats thats oft quoted. Yeah right.

    @ Ricardo - Serious point. Really.
    I would have thoughtiIst very hard to fall on your head as a pedestrian

    No, but it's very easy to have your brains splattered all over the pavement by a p*ss*d driver.
    Its like those Donkey/Airplanes stats thats oft quoted. Yeah right.

    So often that I haven't a clue WTF you are talking about.

    I would give you per billion kilometers travelled statistics but it is very hard to find them as tracking how far pedestrians walk is kind of tricky. Personally I've found that in most stats Motorcyclist come out as being the riskiest group. A bit unfair as the graduated rider training has really helped in reducing deaths, the ones getting killed are now the born-again bikers aged 40+.

    But (suprise) Ireland has the highest rate of Motorcyclists killed in Europe.
    (I still think about you, Ian. RIP)
