I'd want to see the evidence gathering for this conclusion. Also seems to suggest most guys are just RLJing to safety. Perhaps @Skülly is right after all.

agreed, im not sure how they have managed to collect statistics for such a statement. Also is it really neccessary to RLJ to safety? surely just to be at the front of traffic, clearly visible is enough?

edit:
@spindrift thanks, hadn't seen that! as above, i was curious as to how they'd quantified that statement.
