    Motorcyclists are so much more likely to hurt/kill themselves in an accident, compared to car drivers who are much more likely to injure/kill someone else while only sustaining minor injuries.
    I consider it a rather strong incentive to ride safely.
    Furthermore, riding a bike is a much more involved activity compared to driving, which makes distracted driving a lot less likely.

      Motorcyclists are so much more likely to hurt/kill themselves be hurt or killed in any accident, regardless of fault.

      Vast majority of the motorcycle accidents I read about are self inflicted. Just bikers falling down on mountain roads. Yes, majority ride safely but the ones that get into accidents drive like idiots. As I said, most accidents happen on weekends during rides for fun.
