I spent 30 years as a career Firefighter, I had to cut a guy out of his motorcycle once with the Hurst tool. He and a friend were doing something similar, over 75 in a 25 on city streets. The car that turned checked mirrors, at speed it was determined he closed the gap too fast for cage driver to see him coming. His passenger pushed the driver into the bars. Driver dead at scene, passenger still screwed up 10 years later. As to the number complaining of 'road rash', many.
