i think you need more options for the poll. Yes, loud pipes do not automatically mean you're never gonna get into a tough situation, but you can't completely dismiss it either. For example, i always drive with a window down, and hearing a bike coming helps A LOT, especially on freeways in traffic, if i hear a loud pipe, i look behind me looking for bikes before i change my lane. Sure there are situations where windows are up and you can't really hear anything, or some people completely ignore to acknowledge the sound or could careless.

In my personal opinion, loud pipes won't save lifes, but it can cut the chance down by a big percent.
