   It's also worth noting that, whereas, in the US, for instance, it's routine to kill cyclists and face no penalties, unless the driver can be proven to be drunk and or, if the driver flees the scene, I think that, in the Netherlands, there may be severe penalties to be paid, for recklessly or otherwise, killing a cyclists.
