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.
