They aren't supposed to at all, it's against the rules of the road. When they DO, it's usually in an attempt to intimidate and bully the motorcyclist into pulling over to let the car into their space- cars being bigger and more of an obstacle, their misuse by ruthless drivers and road-hogs creates a menacing and potentially dangerous threat to a motorcyclist.

Are Motorcycles as safe as cars?
No, and for obvious reasons. A car has a body to protect you in case of an accident. A car has seat belts to use to prevent further travel in case of an accident. A motorcycle has none of these safety features. Define safe. Bikes have superior acceleration, handling and far superior braking than cars. Motorcycles are less forgiving of mistakes than cars. Being a pedestrian or a child or pensioner by a roadway is far more dangerous than being a motorcyclist. Motorcyclists are more accomplished than car drivers, they have no metal box or sundry gadgets to make them complacent. There are more motorcyclists who also drive cars than there are car drivers who also ride motorcycles. Motorcyclists who drive cars are significantly more hazard aware than car drivers who have never ridden. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to the selfishness and blinkered skill of car drivers than are other car drivers.
