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!
