In what way do you think it "protects the cyclist" to have them pass directly in front of a two ton motor vehicle that's being operated by someone who just demonstrated that they don't understand the right-of-way laws? I can see being cautious if it's not clear that the cyclist plans on stopping, but after they have already come to a complete stop there shouldn't be any doubts left.
