Pedestrians and bikers are more protected by law
Bikers en pedestrians are seen as vulnerable participators in traffic and are legally better protected because of that.
Drivers have to be extra careful in traffic. If a biker bikes through a red traffic light and gets hit by a car, the driver then is still held liable for the accident.
It is expected that drivers behave more carefully in traffic and anticipate on mistakes that bikers and foot passengers can make.
