[B]I can think of two reasons off the top of my head as to why bikers get hit:

1) they are small objects and hard to see, but their lights do help.

2) they often ride in people's blind spots.

Bikers are a good example of DRL's.

It is called a difference of opinion. DRL's would help in some situations, but having all of the lights on is even better. Like when it is pouring down rain and people have their wipers on high and no lights. Would DRL's make them more visible, yes. Do you know what would make the MORE visible, having all their lights on. Thus having more fontal light for them to see, more light for others to see and most importantly, rear lights on for the people behind them to see. I see people at night driving around with nothing more then their DRL's on. Apparently they provide just enough light for them to see and they think nothing of it. Their low beams would provide more light, thus making it safer. So in that case, DRL's are more dangerous.
