In some cases: yes. In the town were I live we have 'bicycle-zones'. That's means you're welcome with your car, but you have to let every bicyclist before you.

There used to be (or is, I'm not sure) even a rule that when a bike and a car have an accident, the bicyclist is always right, no matter what.

A month ago I got a fine for speeding. I was driving 55 Km/h (34 mph) where 50 (31) was allowed and it cost me 30 euro's (about 45 dollar)
