Being an old motorcycle rider myself for many years, I would guess that most accidents are caused by simply travelling too fast for the situation. Most accidents happen at intersections and then often at long sweeping curves where you lose it, sort of like walking on the top of a fence, once you start to lose your balance there's nothing you can do about it. Both of these are speed related of course. In North America, a 16-year-old kid can buy himself a 130 horsepower crotch rocket, get a licence and away he goes. In Europe, they make anyone go through a graduated series of licences limiting bike size and power which makes sense. Would I like my kids to get a motorcycle, no way! Once they have a minimum of 10 years of driving in traffic in a car or truck, only then do I think anyone is even close to ready to drive a bike. Country roads and cow pastures are one thing, highway and city driving are another.
