It falls in line with being aware of your surroundings and driving defensively, which all motorists are responsible for, regardless of what they're driving. Emphasis is placed on motorcyclists not for the purpose of applying a different standard, but because they impose a particular risk, both for the motorcyclists and other motorists. They're much smaller than other vehicles on the road, and thus, are not as visible, particularly at night or in times of inclement weather. Thus, motorists need to be particularly aware of motorcyclists for this reason.

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.

Should tasty animals have rights?
Rights come with responsibilities. As an animal cannot be assigned responsibilities, they cannot deserve rights. To do otherwise would be to say "humans have to toe a line to deserve rights, but animals don't". In other words, they would be held as superior to humans. I suppose you could say they have the right to be prepared properly!
