If you can't see what's in front of your car in time to react appropriately, you are going too fast for the current road conditions. Reckless driving is a risk created entirely by the driver, not the cyclist who happens to be in front of the driver at the time.

Right, but if the risk backfires, who pays the cost? The driver has a few scrapes on the bumper and the cyclist is seriously injured or dead.
And then in any civilised country the driver faces manslaughter charges and goes to gaol.
