It's hardly any given. You can just ride properly.

In other countries they are a huge means of transport.

True. If you ride properly, then everyone else on the road is not allowed to hit you by the laws of physics.

  • Like how if you ride in a car, or a bicycle, or walk as a pedestrian, then everyone else on the road is not allowed to hit you by the laws of physics.

    "Oh, but this is acceptable risk"

    Well, for billions, a motorcycle is too.

    • Yes same with BASE jumping. Since you walk as a pedestrian, which has risk, it's virtually the same as BASE jumping, which also has risk.

You can drive like a saint, you will still get plowed by someone who is dumb, or just on their phone. It's over!
