The massive decrease in in-car fatalities of the past few years is, as far as it has been able to be analysed, due to in-car safety improvements (and a little bit due to congestion in built-up areas). Here's a difference to the cycle helmet risk compensation effect, as people can now drive worse but transfer a proportion of the resultant risk on to other road users.
