Because Trucks are commercial vehicles subject to far more stringent state and federal safety standards than are the cages and motorcycles which are personal transportation devices. If you are going to have a personal transportation checkpoint... why would you limit it to just motorcycles or just cars?

I you need to stop or pull over one would hope the person you are riding with if in front will notice pretty quickly you are not still in view and pull over and wait to turn back or if the other rider is behind you they (hopefully) will notice you have pulled over (before running into you!) or that you have changed direction from your intended route and follow along till you both can pull over to discuss the situation. I do happen to think riding two abreast is probably not a good idea for most for any reason, even for short distances, but hardly qualifies as "criminal".
