Explanation
Motorcyclists are smaller and harder to spot than cars, which can make them easily hide in a car’s blind spot. Drivers may fail to see a motorcycle in the traffic scene or they may not be able to judge the speed of an oncoming motorcycle. This is why it's important to always check for motorcyclists and gauge their speed before making a turn.
