If it’s known that cars are less manoeuvrable and have poorer sight lines, why do motorcyclists insist on gunning it past cars and swerving into the next lane before they’ve fully cleared the car they’re trying to overtake. Not to mention the constant overtaking from the left, which is a completely moronic thing to do. If they’re weaving in and out of traffic rather than just staying in their lane and spot, they’re far less likely to sneak up on a car unawares and get hit.
Yeah, thats quite true. Thats a pretty irresbonsible way to ride.
The main cause of collisions between cars and motorcycles is right-of-way violations, when a car turns right across traffic without looking to see if a motorcycle is oncoming.
The second cause is right-of-way violations, when a car pulls left onto the roadway without looking to see if a motorcycle is oncoming.
Both of these result in a head-on collision that is very diffcult to avoid. It’s the reason why the campaigns focus on “look twice”.
These two car violations are also the leading cause of cyclist and pedestrian death and injury.

That is entirely on them.
