Yeah, which is why so many people who ride at night recommend a Flashing front light, which does attract the mind of the driver.
The motorcycle rider can get a similar effect by weaving---in fact, that is what weaving does, but I am not about to start weaving across the lane on my bicycle. I have a flashing light which simulates a moving object and breaks through into a driver's awareness.
Motorcycle rider would do well to flash his lights instead of weaving, I'd think.
