Because there is a law that states, "Bicyclists must ride as far to the right as practicable." there is no such law pertaining to motor vehicles.
There are some specific laws relating to bicycles on the road that do not apply to motor vehicles. By the same token, there are some specific laws which apply to motor vehicles but not bicycles. But by and large, the rules of the road apply equally to both.
