Motorcycles and mopeds are relatively more frequently involved in accidents in intersections than cars. In collisions between motorcycles/moped and cars in intersections car driver are over-represented as the guilty party. One explanation of this overrepresentation is that drivers fail to notice motorcycles/mopeds, but other explanations have been offered. Drivers may fail to notice two-wheelers because they have a shape and color that makes them blend with the background (camouflaging). Another explanation is that driver have a visual set for other cars and for that reason fail to notice two-wheelers even when they are clearly visible. It is recommended to introduce measures that may increase the conspicuity of two-wheeler and change the visual set of drivers.
