If drivers overtook cyclists for the cyclists' safety you'd expect them to tailgate cyclists much less often. Literally nobody keeps the necessary distance to the car/cyclists in front of them in city traffic. That's why rear-end collisions are so frequent. Between two cars at city speeds that not really dangerous. When a cyclists falls in front of a car it's fatal.

that's absurd.
ever seen a traffic light from a car?

you mean literally no cyclist keeps the distance between them and the car in front of them, tailgate them at traffic lights, and then keep everybody else stuck because they are slow to move?
they are forbidden by the law to pass other vehicles in my country and keep the right lane, they never do it.
have you ever seen a bike wait behind a slower car or in line at a traffic light?
cameras could fine cars not behaving, but bikes?
> When a cyclists falls in front of a car it's fatal.
then why they do it all the time?
because I literally saved tens of them in the past 30 years.
