The jump in fatalities is literally NOT due to cars - though oversized yank tanks are a problem and should absolutely be banned here in Australia.

The increase in fatalities is down to those poor victims who jumped on a scooter while drunk, ignored the helmet, ran a red light then failed to hop a curb and hit their empty fucking head on concrete and died.
