> I will never stop behind a car.

For the same reason I try not to be behind a motorbike (or a bike)

A turn that I can make at 30kmh safely becomes a turn where the two wheeler in front of me stalls almost to an halt and I have to break in the middle of it

They use different trajectories, which are almost unpredictable

They stop in front of cars at the traffic light, but their start is very slow so usually a jam is created from nothing (sudden start/stops are the root cause of the majority of crashes in traffic jams)

I think everyone should consider their strength and weaknesses and account for them

Being in front of a car without a differential, for example, means a much slower transit in turns

It's a scientific phenomenon, there is no right or wrong, but if you know it you can anticipate for it

If you don't, you risk to end up rear ended
