It depends.

If the case is singular possessive, the apostrophe is placed before the final s, as in "The single vehicle accident was apparently the motorist's fault."

In case it is plural possessive, it comes after the final s, as in "The crush of traffic interferes with many motorists' concentration."

The apostrophe in "motorist's" comes before the "s" to indicate possession or belonging, such as "the motorist's car." If you are referring to more than one motorist, it would be "motorists" without an apostrophe.

Rule on apostrophe for plural forms of nouns or verbs?

First, there is never an apostrophe used for verbs unless it is a contraction, not a plural or possession. Example: "My running's really improved!" This is a contraction of running and has. Second, if a noun is plural the apostrophe will come after the "s".
