I guess ATGATT should apply holistically

If those pesky pedestrians had been wearing gear, how many would of survived?

Last I checked, a traffic crash usually involves two cars, and normally there has to be a driver in each one. I'd guess the number isn't an exact double because there are some fucksticks who hit parked cars, light poles, dumpsters, etc... You fucktard.

remember

billions of pedestrians

thousands of bikers....

It would be more accurate if it were in a ratio, like every 1/1,000 pedestrian gets killed a year, and 50/1,000 biker gets killed a year.
