I thought I was a low risk driver, then when doing a lot of hours riding a motorcycle it became very apparent how incredibly terrible of a car driver I was. So much general threat and risk was invisible as a car driver contained in a big metal box.

I do a lot of cycling and it's amazing how much more aware you are when any minor bump is going to cause you injury. I've avoided accidents multiple seconds in advance because something about the way someone was driving made me nervous, it's like you get a sixth sense.

visibility is also dramatically better on a bike

Riding a bike (motorcycle or bicycle) should be mandatory for learning to drive a car.
