Does anyone know statistics on car drivers killed FROM motorcycles/motorcyclists?

I've read basically every other kind of statistic and I always hear about how speeding is such a danger to everyone, and this is true in a car, but do motorcyclists really injure car drivers all that often? I know it's happened, but I get the gist it's pretty rare...

    Know of a few drivers I would have loved to kill on a few occasions but unfortunately that's against the law.

    As for statics I'm guessing it's rarer than rare, in my 50+ years of riding I've only heard of one death and two injuries.

    Would be very small if there are any. My guess if there are any statistics, it is an accident involving a motorcycle where the car driver tried to swerve out of the way and then hit another car. Technically it was a car and motorcycle accident, but the car was impacted in some other fashion.

    A motorcycle hitting a car and killing the car driver is about as likely as killing someone with a paintball gun. Possible? Sure if done in a very specific way that seems boreline intentional.

    Yes, it is exceedingly rare. The car driver is surrounded by all that metal and padding, and unless the motorcycle strikes the car directly in the drivers side door, there is little likelihood that the car driver would suffer serious injury.

    Motorcyclists are usually on the losing end of any collision, if the car driver is injured I can guarantee you the cyclist is mortally or fatally injured. Most accidents are caused by the car driver as they "did not see" the cyclist.

    I ran a motorcycle shop for years, and had a customer crash into the side of a van at high speed. Rider, his passenger, and the van driver were all killed. Another customer crashed into another bike while showing off at a party, both riders killed. Speed kills.
