Cycle training works by reducing the marginal risk across all elements of riding, from basic control, enabling a person to react quicker to someone's poor driving because a trained cyclists will always have their brakes covered, to spotting an erratic driver behind because a trained cyclist will not be surprised and will be aware of what is going on around. So, while cycle training will not protect someone a trained cyclists may have an advantage in anticipating and reacting to a crap driver.
Most cycle trainers will remark how significantly their riding style changed after training and how they have less conflict and move through traffic more efficiently than before they were trained
