May is Motorcycle awareness month ...
Great article

“Sorry mate, I didn’t see you.”

In the majority of crashes where a vehicle and motorcycle collide, the motorcycle is traveling straight and the vehicle turns left in front of them. Most of the time the driver says they looked both ways and thought it was clear before turning. It’s not carelessness – the visual effects of camouflaging, looming, and saccadic masking contribute to the eyes and the brain not always being aware when a motorcycle is approaching. As a driver, you need to understand how a motorcycle can be hidden, and make sure you take the time to not just look, but look correctly.

Camouflaging: Cars and trucks are big, and distinct against a background, but a motorcycle’s outline is less distinct, making them blend into the background.

Looming: You judge how fast something is coming toward you by how it seems to get bigger. This works well with cars, but not so well with motorcycles. They can appear distant and stationary until they are very close, then suddenly seem to appear out of nowhere.

Saccadic Masking: When your eyes move rapidly from left to right, the brain suppresses the blur in between and replaces it with a composite, so you miss large chunks of visual information.

How do drivers counter these phenomena? When you look, take time to focus on close, middle, and far distance. Slow down when you scan from left to right so you don’t miss anything. If you see a motorcycle approaching, be aware that it could be traveling much faster than it appears.
