Road safety signs

Every bloody where you go (especially in Norfolk it seems) there are “Think Bike” road safety signs by the side of the roads. And then there is the irritating TV ad “Now you see him” regarding motorbikes who cut you up when you are trying to turn right. Why are car drivers made out to be the bad guys here? Why should motorcyclists get away with everything, from never queuing at lights, hold ups etc, just riding up the middle of the traffic, to roaring up behind you like a tw*t out of hell when you are waiting to turn. It’s not big and it’s not clever. And in a straight fight, my guess is the car is likely to win. Being surrounded by several tons of metal in this situation is distinctly safer than a snazzy pair of leather trousers and matching jacket.
