What is the risk of riding too close to the parked cars?

Riding too close to parked cars significantly increases the chance of being hit by a car pulling out of a parking spot. When a motorcycle is in close proximity to parked vehicles, the rider may be at risk of a sudden collision if a driver fails to see them while exiting the parking space. Drivers often have limited visibility and might not notice a motorcyclist, especially if the motorcycle is positioned too closely to the curb. This situation emphasizes the need for motorcyclists to maintain a safe distance from parked cars to allow adequate reaction time and improve their overall safety on the road.

The other risks associated with riding close to parked cars, such as excessive speed, potential for collisions with pedestrians, or loss of control, while important considerations, do not specifically highlight the immediate danger posed by cars pulling out unexpectedly.
