They sure don't, which is why street survival demands you assume nobody can see you. That's been one of the reasons why I have 45 plus years of accident-free riding.

I disagree. If you assume that drivers can't see you, you will not be defensive enough! When I ride, I assume that the drivers on the road are going to do whatever they can to run me down!

I'm also pretty nervous for another reason. While driving my CAR, I've been rear-ended at stop lights 3 times in the last 8 months! Now, I'm a big guy (6'4", 300#), but if they can't see my car, how the hell are they going to see me on my Duck?

I've managed to avoid that problem over the years by watching to the rear as much as I watch to the front. You can usually see when cars/trucks/whatever are coming up behind you too fast and, when on the bike, split the lanes to get out of their way. When in a car, there are defensive measures you can take that I won't go into here.
