While you are right that cyclists should learn how to use the roads (and could take up free skills training offered by most London Boroughs) . Other people die under the wheels of car drivers. Kids and older pedestrians. The onus is largely on drivers to take more fucking care
In the UK drivers kill about 2,000-3,000 people more or less each year and 1,000s more are injured
I suppose rather than asking cyclists how many crashes/near misses they have had a better question would be asking drivers how many they have had.
We judge road safety by counting the victims not the perps
