When I am on a bike I am definitely not in control of all the people in cars around me, especially the ones who are drunk, are assholes, or are badly-programmed

  Which would be true of any form of transit, including driving or riding a bus or walking down the street. So I’m not following your point here.

    You're unfortunately either more vulnerable to other cars, less able to take action to avoid them or some combination of both. A motorcycle for example is nimble enough to attempt to avoid a collision but is more vulnerable if a collision occurs, while a bus might be sturdier/larger but your presence can't avoid a collision at all. As a group the safest option would be smaller vehicles, but individually each person is better off (in terms of safety during a collision) with something larger.
