One of the most annoying aspects of this, minus the whole dying part, is the reactions it leads to after near-misses. Since people effectively "don't see" motorcyclists, they often assume we're "riding crazy" if there's a near miss, since from their POV we just warped into being a moment previous to the incident. People are already biased towards not blaming themselves, so this just makes it worse. It's even worse in "accidents", where the motorcyclist might not be able to give their side of the story immediately due to injuries. Now the police report is heavily biased (in practice), which makes sure there will be future insurance issues.
