This is the best answer in application, but falls short of holding all motorists accountable to hold up their end of road safety responsibility.

Motorcyclists need to hold up their end as well, instead of attempting to recreate scenes out of Mad Max on absurdly overpowered crotch rockets.

In the first half of my life, I rode 175K miles commuting long distances across the high desert in New Mexico. I was involved in three accident, all T-boning a car making a left hand turn across traffic.

All were In the day time.

Driving motorcycles definitely increases your overall survivability, if you can survive the education. It’s a pretty brutal application of applied Darwinism.
