Like i said, it does not matter if you are a good rider or not.

Very true. My one (and only) motorcycle accident was riding with someone who had ridden bikes almost all his life. When a car took a left in front of us ("I didn't see them") and he dropped the bike instead of hitting her, he saved both our lives. Broke the shit out of my leg and I had 3 surgeries and some awesome scars, but the alternative was a lot worse.
It's not the rider, it's everyone else. Personally I won't ride again because of that but before then, the only time I rode was out in rural areas just because of stuff like this.
