Cars have seat belts, air bags but motorcycles don't. Motorcycles are not as safe as cars because motorcycles are too fast and does not have seat belts and air bags to protect the driver so the answer is no, cars are safer than motorcycles because more people got hurt in motorcycle accidents than car accidents.

∙ 10y agoThat is actually a very complex answer. Yes, cars have seat belts, air bags, and a crumple zone, and motorcycles don't have any of those (the motorcyclist is the crumple zone). However, automobiles have the danger of perceived security. Perceived security can cause complacency such as distracted driving (cell phones, eating, make-up, etc.), wandering minds, and object fixation (which causes motion induced blindness). In the sense of operator vigilance, motorcycles are safer. People buy big cars because they feel safer. However, there will always be a bigger vehicle that will shred the biggest SUV. Additionally, many motorists choose their vehicle to survive an accident. Motorcyclists, responsible ones, ride to avoid accidents. The safety of a vehicle is found primarily in the operator. Any accident does not have a single cause but involves a complexity of factors. Ultimately, the question does not have to do with the vehicle but with the mindset of the operator. If motorcyclists give themselves time and space, and if motorists realize that there is a world outside of their own little world, we'd have much fewer accidents, period.
