The biggest problems are with 50 year old men in a bit of a mid life crisis buying a big, expensive bike, and then getting on a road with no speed limit. They lose control and kill themselves, and if they are unlucky, take someone else with them.

I dont count the racers, its like punching yourself in the balls and wondering why you are walking funny.

Fairly low to be fair, its too wet and miserable to ride a bike 11 months of the year.

Isle of Man. We have farmers that run the government. They are terrible at it, and its stupid, but we dont have power to rename a sea, so they mostly just argue amongst themselves and the rest of us get on with it. Postage takes longer and is more expensive. We cant get a lot of the services the UK gets. We still dont have 5g. That being said its one of the safest places to live in the British isles. So I dont know, swings and roundabouts.
