  The correct answer is C, D

   

  Drivers usually do look but don't see motorcycles because they are small and may be obscured easily by road furniture such as signage, or other vehicles; also we are technically 'blind' between saccades, which are the rapid movements your eye makes between each time if focuses (often three to four times a second), and there are scenarios where your bike can be missed if the driver just takes one glance. Motorcyclists don't always wear light-coloured or hi-vis clothing, and that makes them more difficult to spot.
