One of the claims being made by some is that the improvements we see in reductions in accidents and injuries is a result of vehicle improvements, and not a change in driving behaviour of motorists.

I may be off the mark, but could motorcycle stats be more of a yardstick on how accident rates have changed due to behaviour rather than design. I accept too, that the mindset of people that ride motorcycles regarding risk is not the same as that of car drivers.

Im not a motorcycle rider, but am I right in assuming there havent been the same levels of increase in performance, handling, braking for motorcycles and indeed rider protection that we have seen in cars in the last 23 years?

Perhaps we could even assume the same with trucks?
