“distracted cell phone users and drunk drivers
kill other people”

So do men shaving, women putting make up on, people eating cereal, reading books, reading newspapers, and doing many other things besides driving.

the focus on cell phone users is a mistake.

Perhaps...
I've not come close to being killed by
a woman putting on makeup

I did see one rear-end another car in
bumper-to-bumper traffic

A bicyclist in town was killed by
a driver leaning over to adjust her radio
who drifted unto the berm,...

Distracted driving is lethal...

It is the first rule of motorcycling
Never get on the bike
without first putting on your brain
Your going to need it

75% of the things that can kill you are
someone or something else
there is a 33:1 odds ratio for dying, per mile driven
relative to a passenger car...

Modification of those odds is imperative
and it is completely up to the biker to stay alive
