For some reason, automobile operators simply do not see or notice motorcyclists on the road. This happens all the time. They make a left-hand turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle. They just aren't looking at motorcycles and only stop if a car or truck is coming. It's like they simply blank out bikers completely. They seem oblivious to anything but a car or truck.
