You can be safe, but its a totally different mindset when your riding, compared to what most people do when their driving. When your learning, it can be a pretty stressfull experience, because not only do you have to do all the same stuff as in a car, you also have to think about all the other cars on the road so much more, and think for them, cos they will drive over you before you know it. Most car drivers dont turn their head to look, they just drive off their mirrors, and its so easy to not see a bike. You also have to think about the cars you cant see, the ones that may not even be there, cos these are the ones that will most likely kill you.
But you get used to it, you begin to read traffic a lot better, but still, its in your attitude. I owned my ZX2R for 5 years, never had an incident, and spent a bit of time and money on it to make what was quite a quick and good looking machine.
I sold it to a guy who seemed fairly responsible at the time, but as soon as i signed the paperwork, he was off riding like an idiot, then at midnight that night, i got a call from the police trying to identify the rider of my bike, who had put himself under a truck.
