Terrifying is: making a right hand turn with one of those.
Terrifying is: finding out it takes MUCH longer to stop it.
Terrifying is: using so much force on the bars just to make it go
straight.
No thanks, after everybody offered the whys, I maintain it was invented
by somebody who hated motorcycles. Around here are some trikes that are made
by using the whole front clip from a Nissan (backwards) and flipping the ring
and pinion over. HD front end and a 2 liter motor with automatic trans. Not bad
at all.

TERRRRRRRIFYING!
Imagine being fully exposed, your butt literally inches from the
ground, looking UP at Civics and looking WAY UP at suburbans and looking
UNDERNEATH Hummers. As bad as all that sounds remember you're not in control!
That jerk to your left is still riding like it's a regular single width bike,
and putting your right shoulder practically into the wheels of every car you
pass! It's not any better on city streets at 30mph either, just as bad,
especially when the jerk to your left keeps clipping every curb with the wheel
at your right elbow. Some sidecars are sprung, but for most the "suspension" is
the 1/2" of foam padding in the sidecar seat, or perhaps a spring under the
seat. Look, I'm an adrenaline junky, and when I was a kid the sidecar was a
joyride on abandoned country roads with Grandpop at the controls, now it's just
not fun. I'll try skydiving before I'll try another sidecar on the freeway.
