As an OLD motorcycle rider, I can assure you, drivers do NOT know what's 
behind them or beside them. By far the greatest number are oblivious to 
two-wheelers of any ilk.
Watching that sashay thru heavy traffic, I spied dozens of times the 
rider taking the photos, let alone his compatriots, were one whim away 
from one of the drivers shutting the door on one of those fools...
Move 1" and you'll catch your handle bars, and one swerve at the wrong 
time, and it' a vise.
Damn fools...pure and simple.
