It is important to be on the alert for motorcycles because:

They are harder to see than cars.
Motorcycles are much quieter than cars.
They are not subject to the same general road rules as cars.
All of the above.
Explanation

Motorcycles are smaller and may be difficult to see. They have a much smaller profile than other vehicles, which makes it more difficult to judge the distance and speed of an approaching motorcycle. A motorcycle’s small size allows it to slip into your blind spot more easily. Always check for motorcycles before you change lanes, turn, pull out, back up or proceed through an intersection.
