Actually they may be safer. As many have pointed out drivers dont know what to make of trikes. Many it seems think they are some handicap machine or a strange wheel chair. As a result when cars pass trikes they go clear over in the other lane most of the time. Drivers dont want their name and picture posted on the front page of the paper as having hit a handicap person. Trike riders dont disabuse drivers of their take on trikes.
