Steve analyzed data from the NHTSA and showed statistics that suggest that in a rear end collision with a motorcycle in a lane splitting area (or one moving toward a lane splitting area) the chance of the motorcyclist recovering is much higher than one in which the car hits him directly from the rear. The potential for serious injuries is also lessened.

You can also draw on studies regarding the increase of rear end collisions due to the recent increase in distracted drivers.
Thanks - That is a good statistic to write a statement around.
