Night driving is especially dangerous, accounting for nearly half of all fatal crashes.

Then, DAY driving is especially dangerous, accounting for the other half of all fatal crashes.

Does no one logically think through what they've written?

I think what the article doesn’t point out is that most motorcyclists don’t ride at night...but nighttime still accounts for half the fatalities.

Maybe consider the number of bikes on the road at night versus during the school day, work day, deliveries day, sight-seeing day, and everything being done during the daytime day.

I guess you didn’t stop to think that night driving consists of fewer hours than day driving.

So logically, night driving is especially dangerous compared today driving.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Nearly half could be 49% which leaves 51% for daylight crashes.

BTW, most of those crashes are caused by inattentive (OLD) drivers. I’m going to strangle one of them one day. Came close a couple months ago.

I caught that, too. In real life, there are probably far fewer cyclists on the road at night, so that makes night driving more dangerous. Poorly worded.
