1. The first is that motorcyclists are generally forgotten in these developments (e.g. Intelligent Infrastructure, V2V communications, etc.);
2. Secondly, transport engineers often simply try to apply what works for cars to motorcycles, completely overlooking the specific characteristics and needs of the motorcycle and the motorcyclist.

A better care for the new motorcyclist
