i wouldn't argue these findings at all.
and in fact we can specify that motorcycles account for over 80% of the total deaths

What a waste of life

Road accidents during Songkran have claimed 442 lives over seven days, 78 more than last year, with drink driving being the number one cause of crashes
There were a total of 3,447 road accidents during the so-called “seven dangerous days” of Songkran, -

Most of the crashes – about 81% – involved motorcycles -

NCPO deputy spokeswoman deputy Sirichan Ngathong said 6,613 vehicles, including 4,963 motorcycles, were seized from drink drivers from April 9-17 under the campaign called “Seizure of vehicles if drink driving”.

The article states that the study was conducted in 24 countries, not that these are the only ones.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
