I know several people on here that own a car a van and a bike or various other combinations.
I know several guys that since the boom started have bought a car and a 4x4 and a bike. This wasn't the case 4 or 5 years ago.
So let's see the stats for number of deaths compared to number of drivers.

Fair point... surely it is the number of licensed drivers that is important, not the number registered vehicles.. which is why stats lie... when the govt wants to look good they say the road toll is decreasing due to the fantastic measures they have introduced.. when they want to pineapple a small minoroty group then the stats say something else...
