True, plus we need to bear in mind that motorcyclists are already "less visible" due to their size and in some cases the way they ride. I believe the reason they don't want DRL on cars is that it takes away any perceived 'advantage' a biker has by having a light on.

I personally drive with my lights on probably 9 times out of 10. the reason is simply because people don't look properly, the standard of observation shown by a lot of people these days is poor and i feel that by having my lights on i give prior warning to other users who may look at me but not 'see' me.
