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

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

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