Many had assumed that the fault is always with the motorcyclist. However, it is more often proven that the other party, not the motorcyclist, is at fault. Sometimes drivers have some prejudice with regards to what type of vehicle you are driving. More often than not, this prejudice is directed towards motorcyclists. Some drivers do not recognize that motorcycles have the same right to the road as does a car or a truck. They do not feel obliged to yield the right way to a motorcyclist.
