The bottom line is this, do the math. 4000lb car minus 40lb bike. Biker loses. When you ride bikes in the hood like I do you learn that being mugged by a gang or a car doesn't make any difference. I'm not about to get my ass run over because I think I have some sort of rights or right of way. I just want to arrive in one piece.
That's easy...the overwhelming belief is, "I'm right, I know I am, you think different from me, so you have to be wrong! HOW DARE YOU BE WRONG AROUND ME?"
The main failure of these arguments is that they respond to failed allegations. Taxes/fees/money paid is not an entitlement to road use. I do, however, believe that skills training is necessary. But motor vehicle licensing is more about traffic laws and less about skills at operating the vehicle -- skills develop a lot slower than the licensing process, but we can't wiat to license someone until they have the skills -- how are they going to get the skills without driving? 6 months for a learner's permit is a joke. YEARS are required to get even minimally skilled.
...so go floss yourself....
