Explanation

Motorcycles accelerate faster than cars, which can make it hard for other road users to judge the motorcycle's speed and distance correctly. This can create dangerous situations, as other drivers may not properly anticipate the motorcycle's movements and may make wrong decisions that lead to accidents. So motorcyclists must be aware of this and ride defensively to avoid possible collisions.
