Motorcycle etiquette

As a driver of a car it is very annoying that I am told ways to drive more safely to protect motorcyclist. They tail gate cars, hug the yellow line and often don’t use signal lights. I have been passed by groups of motorcycles in non-passing lanes at very high speeds. They drive through small communities revving their engines and having mufflers that are way too loud. If my muffler had a hole and was producing that much noise, I would be ticketed. Before all folks on motorcycles get hostile, I am not suggesting that all people who ride motorcycles are irresponsible. I also understand they are loud so we can hear you, but please, if you choose to ride a motorcycle, understand the dangers of the road as well.
