This just isn't true.. yes its more difficult to get a license but that doesn't make car drivers aware that bikes even exist. In the car theory test there is no guarantee that a motorcycle question will come up so therefore they may have NO idea how to deal with a motorcyclist let alone know whats legal for them to do.Cause in Europe it's very hard to get your drivers license, owning a car there is a luxury, so the drivers are more responsible and aware of road rules than drivers in USA.
