I drive a car, drive a golf cart and ride a bike so see all of it from the seat of each.
I read somewhere that people simply do not recognize a bike as a vehicle. That is a polite view. Sadly far too many people do not care about anyone but themselves and seem to think they build themselves to ALMOST HUMAN STATUS by abusing others. There are sooooo many threads where people debate who is right in situations. SADLY, the odds of someone KNOWING the rights of a bike rider following the law is at best very slight. For that matter the same is true of bike riders.
As to a recumbent bike. If, we agree that people do not see as their head, their reflexes are looking for other cars, golf carts walkers, pets and combinations of them. What is your chance of being seen on a recumbent bike. The OP asked about a recumbent three wheeler. Having three wheels just compounds the problems as it has a wider footprint.
