Fatality percentages for road accidents involving motorized two-wheelers are higher than those involving four-wheelers yet lower than those involving non-motorized two wheelers. However, since the number of accidents involving non-motorized two-wheelers is so small, legislation around this form of transport is not crucial at this time. Therefore, the road safety association's proposal to alter the legislation so that it ceases to allow motorized two-wheelers the use of public roads will lead to an drastic decline in the overall number of fatal accidents.
Which of the following casts the most doubt on the possible success of the road safety association's proposal?
A. While manufacturers are constantly developing safety features that regular four-wheelers are then fitted with, these features, often becoming international industry standards, can almost never be applied to motorized two-wheelers.
B. Fatality percentages for accidents involving non-motorized two-wheelers can easily be reduced since in a large number of such cases, victims were not wearing the appropriate safety gear while it has been proven that such gear can reduce the risk of death by up to 80%.
C. The overall number of fatal accidents can be reduced greatly by improving the surfaces and organization of the actual roads, thereby providing conditions that are safer for the drivers of all types of vehicles.
D. Passing a law that prevents the use of motorized two-wheelers on public roads will encourage the use of such vehicles for recreational purposes which, due to the lower speeds and reduced interaction with of four-wheeled vehicles, will probably not yield high fatality numbers.
E. Since most of the commuters that use motorized two-wheelers do so because they cannot afford the use of four-wheelers, if such a law would be passed, these commuters would begin to use non-motorized two-wheelers.

it indicates that fault is not on the two wheeler or its driver. So it is illogical to do something to avoid the effect without modifying the cause.

Answer is E
"However, since the number of accidents involving non-motorized two-wheelers is so small, legislation around this form of transport is not crucial at this time"
If motorised two wheelers move to non-motorised two wheelers this number may increase
