Motorbikes can be hard to spot on the road by some drivers. Whether it is in their blind spot or they are not paying attention. So, when you are near a car, it is better to assume that he does not see you. A few examples would be:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By riding in front or behind the car, you can stay away from blind spots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see that the car is backing up, assume that he will not see you in time to be able to stop. Continue on your way when he finishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give vehicle space if you see them merging into your lane.
