I disagree with that statement personally. On a bike, you’re a tiny spec. At distance an eye last will cover you. These days people a) don’t care and b) don’t pay attention on a good day. So i always go by the 2 rules of riding: 1. You’re invisible. 2. They’re trying to kill you. Any rider thinking otherwise probably needs to re-evaluate their decision a bit. I should state that i’m in the US. Maybe in Europe people respect motorcycles better. But not around here.

I rode motorcycles for a long time. U got used to hugging the outter part of the lane. People suck and that wasy safety bet so to speak. I do the same with my other vehicles now. Too many idiots looking at their phone and not the road.

The latter is a permanent state.
