ban seatbelt and helmet laws and enforce no cell phone usage

Total agreement. Talking on the phone, either with or without handsoff, should be a hefty fine and points. You want to talk, pull over. Someone calls and you can't pull over, let the missed call take care of it and call back later.

After taking the msf I always wondered why my driving test was a 4mins spin in the parking lot, and my motorcycle training was 8hours in a parking lot. I think they should improve driving education in general. A permit lets you practice before you get a license(If you're under 18 for my state you can skip the permit) but it doesn't mean you are practicing correctly.

Not many things can upset a car while motorcycles are on the other end of the spectrum. I guess because since a car has a steel cage and 4 wheels many accidents won't be too much of a problem so people don't have to focus on the road too much. Plus in the US a car is a necessity even though people use their bikes to commute too.

In Europe the riding tests have become harder and bike restrictions have become more strict despite the fact that many accidents are caused by idiot cagers.

People say a minor fender bender can be fatal on a bike. I question these idiots because I have been in a few minor fender benders and it seems like many of these stories are blown out of proportion.
