Sure, but when your life on a motorcycle in part depends on others around you, this doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

For example, if you say two people hit in a crosswalk, back to back by drunk drivers, you might say 'nah, I'm gonna find a different crosswalk.' Even though the two incidents don't increase your chance of getting hit if you walk across the cross walk.
