Do you have any evidence to back up your claim that they are a safety hazard? The NTSB and IIHS disagree with your statement, as do safety statistics on the subject.
I also disagree, and I am also an avid motorcyclist. Heck even motorcycles operate with headlights always-on. Cars using the same safety principle doesn't detract from motorcycles,
at all. It simply makes it easier to see everyone. If you are having trouble spotting a motorcycle, it's because you aren't looking for them. That's your responsibility to pay attention as an operator. Don't go spreading false information to make yourself feel better.
If you would like to disable your DRLs, that's your choice. That doesn't mean they're dangerous to others.
