It says that only 13% of collisions involving chav-bikes and their
riders involve motor vehicles.
And a proportion of that 13% will in any case involve chavs riding their chav-bikes into parked and unattended vehicles or into stationary
vehicles waiting in queues, at traffic lights or Give Way junctions, etc.
It also says that less then 10% of chav-bike collisions are reported to
the police. That is quite intuitive, when many/most chavs ride their chav-bikes away as fast as they can after hitting a pedestrian or
another vehicle.
