    The problem: motorcyclist fatalities can occur from a variety of accidents. But in the United States in 2005, motorcyclists comprised 42% of fatalities due to guardrail collisions, whereas only 3% of vehicles on the roads were motorcycles (Gabler, 2007).

The man, a delivery truck driver, opted to pursue an ambulance speeding through his town as other vehicles moved aside to let the emergency vehicle past. The dimwitted delivery driver thought his exploit so clever, he filmed himself doing so and then posted the clip online on a popular social media website, where it attracted thousands of views. The driver claimed to have been driving safely, despite the vide
