Really? Here's a direct quote from that article:
"MOTORCYCLISTS are 23% safer behind the wheel of a car than non-motorcyclists, according to a leading insurer.
Equity Red Star compared car drivers to car users who also have an insured motorcycle, and found the latter 23% less likely on average to make a claim on their car policy."
Less likely to make a claim does not equal more safe. It just means less likely to make a claim.
Do I think motorcyclists make better drivers? No. Being surrounded by metal, on 4 wheels, radio on, cellphone in hand, talking and eating a doughnut is a foolish behavior practiced by many; some of them are bikers, no doubt. But there is no way to prove the claim of either the journalist, or me. Its just filler...
Ride Often, Ride Safe,
