It may also be difficult to judge a motorcycle’s speed.

Around here, in the city, that is primarily because the motorcycle is actually going much faster than expected...often by a factor of 2X. Some sort of death wish.

#3 is the one that ticks me off about motorcyclists because they can adjust
their speed/positioning to they can be seen. Otherwise there is no way to know
there is someone there.

I read that people don't notice an object moving in a straight line directly toward them, but do if it moves from side to side.

Since then, whenever I come up on an intersection where I have the green light, and other cars are waiting, I do a quick, hard weave back and forth in the lane when I get within about 100 ft. of the intersection. Kind of a a "Hey! Look at me!"

Some days I'm driving a 48 ton (96,000 lbs) mashing behemoth and you can not tell it by looking. Please don't cut me off...

The First Thing motorcyclists need to remember about cars:

With anything bigger than a Smart Car, you're going to lose the argument. Be extra careful.

11. Motorcyclists are frequently found traveling between lanes at 30 mph over the posted speed limit.
