Car drivers should avoid moving into the same lane with a motorcycle side by side, even if the lane is wide and the cyclist is riding to one side, because:

Motorcycles require more space to accelerate

It is illegal to drive next to a motorcycle

It creates a safety risk as the cyclist can be startled or squeezed

Leaving space around a motorcycle is a safety practice because motorcycles are small and more easily affected by sudden moves. If you move into the same lane while the rider is toward one side, even a small steering adjustment or braking can leave them with very little room to react, risking being startled, squeezed, or forced toward the curb or another vehicle. Giving the rider a clear buffer lets them maneuver and brake smoothly, reducing the chance of a crash. The other points don’t fit as the main reason: legality varies and isn’t the primary safety concern, and right-of-way isn’t absolute in every situation.

Motorcycles have the right of way in all cases
