What's harder learning to drive/ride a motorcycle or a car ? ?

Question

just curious thank you :)

Answer 1

motorcycle bc if u have a bike that wights a lot. Bc u have to go really fastest take sharp corners and stop in a small box going really fast. It tock me 2 years to pass and It tock me my first time to get my driver linces.  

Answer 2

about the same

Answer 3

Riding a motorcycle, especially with a passenger, can be tricky when going around a curve if either of you panics and doesn't lean into the curve.  Resisting can throw the bike off balance or weaken its hold on the road.  I'm not a biker, and I haven't ridden on one in 38 years, but I still know that much.  So a car is easier and safer in that respect, at least until you get used to the feel and the physics.

Answer 4

A motorcycle is just like riding a bike.  The only hard part about a motorcycle is learning to be safe and watching out for the idiots in cars.

Answer 5

I think learning how to drive a motorcycle is harder.  Once you have your balance, you have to get used to driving on the roads.  At least in a car, you have the comfort of the steel surrounding you.  In a motorcycle, you have nothing.  I have driven a scooter for two years now and got my motorcycle license year.  My mother just bought a Honda Big Ruckus, which is a scooter that can go up to 75mph, last year.  During the few times that I have driven it, I have gotten it up to 50mph on back roads.  You can't drive it on a highway until you are comfortable with your balance and your skills as a driver.  I may get a small motorcycle in the future, but right now, I'm sticking to my scooter (40mph down hill tops) and car.

Answer 6

Motorbike. Gearshifts, breaking and balance require more co-ordination than in a car. Also in the wet car drivers don't generally worry about manhole covers and grates in the road...on a bike they can be a big deal especially on curves, they can cause the bike to loose traction and slide.

The rules of physics generally do not favour smaller objects in collisions. Even a "small" collision on a bike can cause injury where as a small impact in a car will most likey just shake your nerves.

But make no mistake bikes are way more fun.

Answer 7

The bike is far harder.

You've got to pay more attention to the vehicle ALL the time.

You've got to pay more attention to the road surface to survive on a bike.

Then, you've got to survive the idiots driving cars.

Answer 8

Hi Fur!

I've ridden motorbikes for over 20 years and driven cars for slightly longer - bikes are more difficult but in both cases there's a big difference in driving them and driving them well!  

As others have said you need to concentrate more on a bike, every second, to compensate for the road and for cars.  And you can't fall off a car!

Neither is rocket science, it's just that one mistake on a bike is liable to be punishing in terms of injuries, or even death, whereas a car is much more forgiving to minor mistakes, skids or whatever.

So a bike is harder, more dangerous and more vulnerable.  It's about more than just balance, it's about technique, anticipation, vision, awareness, placing yourself at just the right part of the road so you can see and be seen, and take avoiding action.  It's a lot more involved really.  

Best wishes, I hope your photography is going well (as usual!).

Answer 9

A car is easier to drive, but a motorcycle is easier to park.

Answer 10

Definitely a motorcycle. Worst scenario would be a car with a stick shift. But in a motorcycle you also have to learn how to change gears. One of the main things is you have to figure out how to keep it balanced at the same time, concentrating on braking and changing gears. and then trying not to get run over buy bigger cars. In a car, you don't have to worry about it as much. The biggest problem most people have with a motorcycle is braking when they need to. They are concentating on movement, direction and gears. By the time they need the brake, they have usually run into something.

Answer 11

Well it took me 1 hour to learn to drive a car.

It took me 2 weeks to learn to ride,

Balance is key
