Yes, there are several reasons for this:
- It is difficult to judge the speed of a bicycle from a distance
- Most bicycles do not have brake lights
- Bikes weigh less than cars and are able to stop quicker
- Bicyclists can lose balance or fall without warning
- Hitting a bicyclist with your vehicle will likely cause a severe injury, which should be avoided above all
