Yes lots of people do not need training, but lots of people even with driving licenses do things of a bike that is just plain dumb. It's not all about being a danger to yourself, it also has a knock on effect to the people around you. The person who witnesses you get squashed, the driver, your family and friends etc. Training is maybe not necessary but raising more awareness to things not to do (positions you don't really end up in in a car) is really important.
