Anyone who's ever ridden a motorcycle knows that the size mismatch between a bike and an automobile and the exposed position of the motorcyclist can spell serious trouble for the biker who's struck by a car. Traffic fatality figures bear this out.

In 2003, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycles represented fewer than 2 percent of registered vehicles in the United States, and less than 1 percent of total vehicle miles traveled, but motorcyclists accounted for 8 percent of all fatal traffic accidents that year. At least as troubling was the rising trend in motorcycle fatalities - after five years of decline, fatal motorcycle accidents increased each year from 1998 to 2003.

There's no reason to think that the most recent accident trends are any better for motorcyclists. In many car-bike collisions, the automobile drivers say they never saw the motorcycle. With so many high-profile SUV's and pickups on the road these days, the visibility problem for auto drivers is even worse - especially when the drivers don't think to look for motorcyclists.
