I don't really go with that. A car passing me closely is dangerous, it could be going a fair bit faster and might not be aware of dangers such as potholes that could cause me to swerve. The most vulnerable person is not in control. Me passing a car close is different, it's almost certainly stationary or traveling slowly and I, the most vulnerable party, is in control.
