So going by this, different rules should apply for

  Car vs. Motorcycle
  Truck vs. Car

If you're on a road that's being shared by other vehicles, you need to follow the same rules as everyone else.

Yes, but they don't get to break them selectively based solely on who would come to greater harm, like the parent commenter suggested. There are common rules of the road that apply to everyone.

For example, it's not okay for a car to rear end a truck or for a pedestrian to jaywalk.

They do have different laws. And there is a mountain of difference between powered, engined vehicles and bicycles.
