Exactly. Despite what is commonly believed, cars are dangerous, especially when in the wrong hands. Dangerous to people on bikes, pedestrians, and other cars.

A driver bending over to pick up a dropped cell phone/doughnut could swerve and hit a cyclist, but they could also run a red light and hit another car or a pedestrian.

It's not like riding a bike is inherently unsafe while driving a car is perfectly safe.
