Deadliest Vehicles

Just checked out MSN and saw this caption under autos.
That is definitely a Yaris in the photo.
I clicked on the article and didn't find the Yaris on the list.
I was tricked!

I'm going to pay for this...but if it isn't a motorcycle....it is a safe vehicle. The laws of physics are against you if you are lacking in grey matter and decide to hop on a motorcycle. Death traps by design...exception would be one in a photo.

Agreed. I've known too many people who are experienced drivers with bad accidents. And I don't know a pot of people.

The prospect of being killed/supremely f ed up is what makes riding a motorcycle such a joy! When you come back from a trip around the country and back to NJ in one piece its exhilarating! Churchill said the act of being shot at without effect was the greatest thing he ever knew.

The damage done by living a life without fear is incalculable.

Motorcycling is like sailing on land but more power.
A union between man and machine which I have not found in anything else.
It's lot more fun than being shot at.

How about being shot at while riding a motorcycle?

Motorcycles have a higher fatality rate per unit of distance travelled when compared with automobiles. Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists' risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than a passenger car.

That Yaris in the photo looks like it is attacking that other car, so I would imaging they are pretty deadly, pounce!

Oh no no no...They wouldn't do that...they would just require some sort of additional mandatory insurance with the threat of a tax penalty if you don't have it. Go ahead and ride....they just want your money.
