Honestly, I’ve been scared of motorcycles my entire life. My dad was in a very bad accident in his 20s. A flat-bed truck stopped suddenly in front of him and he ran into it on his bike. He has nerve damage to this day in his right (dominant) hand.
I quit riding after hearing of someone getting laddered. Realized there's no way to thwart something like that and I was not a focused-enough rider anyway.
