Motorcycles:

• A. Are difficult to see in traffic
• B. Are very loud
• C. Are always safe
• D. Do not need space

Answer: (A)

Motorcycles can be hard to spot in traffic because they are much smaller than cars and can hide in blind spots or slip by in gaps between vehicles. Their low profile and size mean drivers may not notice them right away when changing lanes, merging, or turning, so you should actively scan for them and give extra space. Treat motorcycles as potential hazards and check mirrors and over your shoulder before maneuvers. The other ideas aren’t reliable indicators of safety—noise level isn’t a dependable cue, and motorcycles aren’t inherently safe or exempt from needing space.
