For petes sake, you're making an argument and a bigger deal out of this than was intended.
Im not crying, I'm not balled up in the fetal position in a corner, I'm not headed to the doctor for anxiety meds. Just a local recent event made me think a little bit.
And it's still not a valid comparison until you stand the same chance of survival in a car vs car wreck as you do in a car vs bike wreck. If you can't see that, you're either trying to argue or not great at logic yourself...
