Riding before driving? (pawb.social)

I'm going to college soon, and have been considering getting a cheap motorcycle, maybe a Royal Enfield. I don't have a driver's license yet (not needed to get motorcycle license in my state), just a permit. Is it a good idea to learn to ride before you have much experience in a car? (I'd be getting professional riding courses through my state DOT). Can't afford a car, and the campus is very scooter / motorcycle friendly.

You might appreciate the blind spots of a car first hand, understand how a car will brake, handle, etc so you can potentially predict them a bit more. Still, generally I don't think it's something you'd have to do.

Good catch, I didn't think of that. Still,you pretty much have to assume that no one sees you, even if you know they can.
