Vulnerable road users

You are waiting to turn right out of a junction and a motorcycle is approaching. Why can it be hard to judge whether it is safe to pull out?

Motorcycles always travel below the speed limit
A motorcycle must stop at every junction
Motorcycles have very bright headlights by day
Its small size makes its speed and distance harder to judge
Correct

Why?

A motorcycle is much smaller than a car, so it is easy to misjudge how fast it is going and how far away it is. Rule 211 of The Highway Code tells you to look out for motorcyclists and take extra time to check before emerging.
