Yes and no... But judging by the rest of your post you must only ride
on the weekends.
In a more simple terms so a phule like you can understand.
Motorcyclist ARE superior...thus it is ALWAYS the cagers fault. I
wouldn't ride as fast as my motorcycle would go if I didn't want the
cagers as far away as possible and crawling along slow just keeps them
near me.
YOU must be one of those "follow the speed limit ridgely" types.
The ONLY right of way that matters is the one you make for your self.
Split lanes, filter and for ghu's sake look out for yourself as noone
else will.
BTW you troll from idiocy. HTHHAND

I question the reporting at least. How does a motorcyclist 'hit the
ground at an impact speed of 140 mph' in traffic? The only way to do
it is to have been _going_ 140 mph and thus it _is_ his fault unless
you can find somewhere with the flow is near that speed.

So is it the Study that's in question or the idiot reporters as usual
who don't know their ass from a tulip ?

One source reports that he was doing 70 miles an hour, "keeping up with
traffic". So maybe the reporter pulled a number out of his ass figuring the
jacket cut the damage to the equivalent of 50% or ~35mph (besides the air
bag the jacket has armor). The dimwit reporter multiplied instead of
dividing.
"One of his companions went over to him fearing the worst not even
checking for vital signs and protecting his friend by shielding cars from
his body."The reporter can't write, either.

Who cares?
"Sources" are not facts.
