In 1950, 500 car drivers and 10 bikers die. That makes bikers
2% of the fatalities.


Well, 1.96%, actually, but that's being pedantic...

errr....10 divided by 500 = .02, or 2%. How'd you get 1.96%?

As for the rest, you're right in that I did not present the
whole picture. It's not easy to compare apples and oranges and
get a meaningful answer.
