I don't think a one-off needs to be any safer than a motorcycle, but at least consider what will happen to the tank in a crash when mounting it. It will either be sandwiched between the bumpers of the two cars (Boom!), or it will be driven through your rear hatch or glass. Maybe placement above your bumper but below your glass would work out.
