I don't agree with the "they don't figure into the PO situation" statement but I do agree with you that we tend not to acknowledge the "small fry"...

In the US we've been desensitized to so much... It's the "Rubber Neck" affect.  Nobody cares if a bug hits your windshield, but a motorcyclist, now that's something to slow down and take a gander at...

Yep the US is the poster child for the cars/oil/Olduvai problem. Just like a road accident, if it's big and gory, just gotta look!! You might see a severed leg and guts!

Size matters, that's the material point, get it?

bug = small
motorcyclist = large

bug = who cares
motorcyclist = damn I have to see that

But if a motorist hits my windshield I pretty much don't see anything else, whether I want to or not. Nevermind :-)
