The weight and reinforcement of trees, poles, deer, etc. are difficult to change. Single-vehicle crashes cause more than half the crash deaths in the US[1].

I don't think the safety record of a motorcycle is a standard to aim for -- but even then a kei truck is at least twice the weight and likely has significantly less sophisticated brakes.
