That may work if you are approaching a cyclist and ones headlights can illuminate them (reflective material or not)

But if you are driving a motor vehicle at night and entering a road that has a cyclist approaching from your left or right with no lights and you even fully stop and look both ways before entering you will pull in front of them before you see them.
