A motorcycle is sitting at a light for a while, they are not going to pull out in front of someone. Just defies common sense.
If the rider is drunk or reckless he is not going to sit there and wait anyway - so this change has no effect on that kind of rider.
The number one cause of fatal motorcycle accidents is cars turning in front of the motorcycle because they failed to see it or misjudged its speed. The number two cause is single vehicle motorcycle accidents where the motorcycle runs off the road, usually after failing to negotiate a curve.
Most other accidents are the result of excessive speed or improper braking by inexperienced riders. This change will not impact any of these situations.
