I don't find most of these statistics terribly useful.

Motorists go though some level of "standardization" though their road training and tests. Additionally, important safety features are standard on motor vehicles, such as lights. So whereas the skill sets and relevant variables that go into motoring statistics "overall" are more rounded, cycling skill sets and variables are nearly completely uncontrolled. That as mentioned, can muck the statistics a bit more when you're trying to find *your* chances.
