Cycle of violence

From an article in the Lynchburg, Virginia News & Advance, on biker Dave Sutton's efforts to repeal Virginia's mandatory helmet law:

There’s no question that motorcycles are dangerous. They’re smaller than cars, which means automobile drivers who have zoned out for various reasons - like the one who put Ken Stahura in intensive care - sometimes appear in their path unexpectedly.

Um... wouldn't that be a reason why cars are dangerous?

I say bad drivers are dangerous, no matter what their choice of vehicle. But you're much less likely to find one on a bike.
