"Flat Earther" finally admits the Earth isn't flat
As people of your ilk are prone to do, you are conflating 'theory' - "a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained' to scientific theory - "an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be repeatedly tested and corroborated in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.' If you think gravity is just a theory try jumping off a building. If you think that the earth is just a theory then just ask a pilot or an astronaut or even my 6 year old kid who seems to know more than you do.- 1

Motorcyclist Killed in Collision with Turning Pickup Truck in Nonthaburi
Not quite: If you remove motorcyclists from the road stats - the road fatalities per 100,000 of population is actually less than the USA - there are other factors such as mileage covered etc... but the raw stat suggests that for vehicles other than motorcyclist the 'danger' is not as high as you suggest. For motorcyclists - the stats are horrific, but when you unwrap why and who most of these accidents happen to, we see that those extreme stats are not representative of the risks careful and experienced riders would face as an individual. i.e. by removing the following (Below) from the aggregate statistic the level of high danger you suggest is somewhat softened. - those riding while drunk. - those riding without helmets - those riding at night - those speeding - the night time street racers - hose riding while high (Yabba etc) To explain that further - a young kid who'll ride without a helmet, drunk while speeding at night is clearly in a far higher risk category than I, who rides only in the day time, never while drunk, never speeding, riding defensively, full helmet & jacket etc... we are in a far lower risk profile. Thats not to say there is no risk or that the risk is the same as our home countries - just that the statistics are not truly representative of the risk careful riders face because the 'bell curve' has been shifted so significantly by those who are reckless.
