This is interesting. When I checked my local post code area 90-95% of fatalities are car drivers.

   There is a cracking bit of road down this way that the bikers like to use, so most road deaths will almost certainly be from that group. I know three bikers who used to regurly exceed 140mph on two or three areas of it

Many elderly pedestrians... and a few teenage motorcyclists in the immediate area.
