PrepTest 68, Section 3, Question 3
Statistics reveal that more collisions between bicycles and motor vehicles occur on roads having specifically designated bicycle lanes than on roads having no such lanes. Hence, adding such lanes to existing roads is unlikely to enhance the safety of bicyclists.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
overlooks the possibility that injuries sustained by bicyclists in accidents on roads with bicycle lanes are as serious, on average, as those sustained by bicyclists in accidents on roads without such lanes
fails to address the possibility that there are more bicyclists riding on roads with bicycle lanes than there are riding on roads without such lanes
takes for granted that any road alteration that enhances the safety of bicyclists also enhances the safety of motorists
concludes that adding bicycle lanes to roads will fail to enhance the safety of bicyclists on the grounds that only some roads that currently have such lanes are safe
takes statistical evidence that fails to support a conclusion concerning the safety of bicyclists as evidence that proves the opposite conclusion
