    Motorcycle is the most dangerous but there is another form of transport that comes a close second.

    Can you guess what that is...?

    No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

    Statistically you're more likely die walking while drunk than driving.

    Don't think it factors in innocent lives though.

    Anyway, less click bait, more answer from OP

    How do you measure 'danger'?

    The traditional deaths/distance is a bit misleading. You'd be better off looking at something like deaths/time spent travelling.

    Of course if it's walking it will offset by the health benefits of exercise which adds years to your life.
