Saccadic masking is precisely why drivers hit motorcyclists.
Narrow objects directly at the center of our focus are sometimes masked by our vision.
Which is why you MUST shift focus from time to time, because peripheral vision is more adept at detecting riders.
And why, as a rider, it's sometimes advisable to make yourself bigger than you are. Move around a bit in lane so you're not stuck in a driver's blind spot.
