But mainly they're safer cause they brake ALOT quicker and you can easily move out of the way of approaching doom > this is what I say by if you treat every single car near or close to you as a potential accident you will NEVER get hit by another car or hit a car yourself (this is rare for a bike rider to be the CAUSE of the acco) so eyes peeled, be paranoid as anhd you'll be fine...........
These things do take some of the enjoyment out of riding tho so thus why I race bikes now cause after starting a stunt company and riding 300,000kms plus on road I know how much having to watch for inconsiderate car drivers ruins your day.....

Unless you're sitting at a stoplight and some jerkoff doesn't see you and runs right into you.
But I think what they mean by 'car is safer' is that if you're in a serious accident in a car.. you have many factors that help you survive: seat belts, airbags, the car itself. Where as if you're in an accident in a motorcycle you really have nothing to help you except clothing plus a helmet. Car vs motorcycle, not good chances there
