1. In city I believe that bicycle might be safer mainly due to agility at lower speed (might be wrong here never used a VM) and the ability to just leave the bike; but I expect this disappear quickly as the speed increase.
2. I know but still too big ^^
4. I think width play an important part too, on motorcycle I had cars merge on me as if I was not there multiple times :(; easier to disappear in the blindspot.
(Funny anecdote, I would have expected the reverse with people ignoring VM because they underestimate the speed :).
- fho 3y agoI frequent a (German) VM forum ... there definitely are accidents. The only fatal one was on a crossing on fields were the high crop covered the VM ... not sure how high the crop was and if e.g. a child on a bike would have been visible. Other accidents like the one in the video above are surprisingly non-fatal ... iirc the guy in the video was doing ~60km/h when he collided feet-first with the tree ... got up and recorded a youtube video about his accident :-)
