Do you think motorcycles are safe?  

No I do not because there's nothing around the person for protection like there is when in a car. Also because others will "test" your skill to see how good or fast you can stop. It's not right but true in one of the ways people tend to be really cruel.

Speaking as someone who used to own a motorcycle as my sole means of transportation I can safely say that yes they are safe and no they are not.

The most dangerous thing for a motorcyclist is the other drivers in cars who don't look for them. People seem to look for cars and pedestrians but often just don't see people on motorcycles.

The other inherent danger to motorcyclists is that there is little protection, nothing between you and the pavement. There is also the balance issue; meaning hitting something like a pot hole or some debris on the road and you can wipeout. Plus dogs love to chase you.

If a person is cautious and practices defensive driving they should be okay. But yes driving a motorcycle is much more dangerous than driving a car.

If the other person driving any four wheeler is not driving well then there is a risk of accidents and serious damage. But don't forget that in accidents occured between cars are also not safe. Peoples are also dying in car-car accidents. So drive safely on roads with heavy traffic.

I don't think motorcycles are safe at all. They definately take more skill to drive them. One of my husband's friends lost his leg due to a motorcycle accident and another one died because of one.
