Is the risk of accidents reduced if drivers respect the right of way of motorcycles?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is essential. Motorcycles are less visible because of their narrow structure (small frontal profile), and their riders are considered vulnerable road users, since in an impact their bodies absorb the energy of the collision. A large share of accidents between passenger cars and motorcycles occur at intersections because of right-of-way offenses. Therefore, respecting the right of way compensates for their visibility disadvantages and fragility. The negative answers are incorrect: the fact that they take up less space does not eliminate the danger, and they can in fact go unnoticed in blind spots.
