I can never imagine myself riding on highways. I just would like to see the statistics to confirm that my concern is justified.
Riding on highways seems to me not much unlike parachuting or similarly high-risk adventures
(sorry, some people have no choice when the highways are the only roads they could ride on, which is a different thing).
(Actually even if I want to ride on the highways, I'm not qualified since my speed will not pick up.
