I cringe when I see the motorcycle coming the other way on what must be a public road. Seems like a great way to kill someone.

Here in N.A., with a left hand drive, rollovers are most likely to occur in a left turn. When a left hand driver turns right, they drive more cautiously since their side of the vehicle is being pressed down and for some reason being closer to the road makes a roll feel more imminent- so is done with more caution. When making a left turn, the driver is raised up from the road and feels more in control (but really isn't)- hence faster left turns and more rollovers.

This video shows the opposite is true in Japan! (and therefore, all right- hand drive vehicles)
