Oh wait, Americans are too stupid to ride motorcycles and they're SOO LOLDANGAROZ, so lets legislate them off the roads!

Wait....HUH!?! You complain about the safety of compact cars, and instead propose those wanting something small should ride a motocycle instead? What the....??
soo confused. You do realize there is much more metal around you in a compact, even sub-compact car than a motorcycle, as well as more mass. Plus you have a crumple zone in a car, whereas on a motorcycle you ARE the crumple zone.
God forbid some people want efficient, sensible transportation. Some people actually like the easy of parking and maneuverability that comes with a compact or sub-compact car, not to mention the generally lower cost of ownership. I'm tired of people whining about the safety. The entire rest of the world has been driving much smaller cars all along, and the developed ones are doing just fine, as far as safety goes. Face it - unless you're driving an Abrahms tank, there will always be something larger and heavier on the road than you. Avoid the accident in the first place and you're fine.
