Why should a driver take an extra look before turning across a motorcycle's path?
A blue westbound car faces an eastbound motorcycle in the opposing lane. An enlarged true frontal view shows the motorcycle’s narrow profile, helmeted rider and white headlight.
Correct answer: A motorcycle's smaller profile can make its distance and speed harder to judge.
Why
A deliberate second look helps prevent a turn across a motorcycle that appeared farther away or slower than it really was.
