I feel my situational awareness is better on a bike as I feel more connected to the situation (i.e. not in a big metal box or a full face helmet, where my body is focused forwards and almost blinkered).
I might have less idea of a speeding vehicle behind me as I can't see a mirror out of the corner of my eye, but that's certainly not how it feels.

Of course, but in cars and on motorbikes you've also got mirrors, so your situational awareness is better than on a bike, where the only way to check behind you is a shoulder check.
