Foremost expert on motorcycle accidents dies - RIP, Harry Hurt.

"Among the study's major findings were that speed was not a factor in most crashes; that helmets were effective in preventing brain injuries and deaths; and that two-thirds of motorcycle crashes involved cars and two-thirds of those accidents occurred when a car driver failed to see the motorcycle and violated the motorcyclist's right of way."

(Everytime I've read this, I've thought that cars should be banned. :p)
