On my commute this morning, it was 1 for 1 on stupidity of drivers and cyclists.
First the cyclist:
Traffic slowing, for a delivery truck turning into a side street With an indicator on, just after a turn. I was 3 cars back, after the truck started to make its a turn, a cyclist came up the inside of everybody, and had to brake hard to miss the truck, then gesticulating to the driver.
Stupid, really stupid.
The driver:
Only about 10 minutes later, I was following a car that appeared either lost, ,or unfamiliar to the area, who was driving quite slowly and poorly positioned as if they was looking for something.
Stopped at the give way on the right hand side of the lane, then turned left from, but they sat at the giveway for a minute or so, looking around. And then pulled out directly infront of a cyclist, who luckily managed to stop. Car continued apparently unaware they had nearly took a cyclist off, I stayed behind the cyclist, as the car park I use was only about 100m away, overtaking was pointless. But the car ahead, pulled over and parked at the curb, less than 60m from the junction, meaning the cyclist they pulled out of, then had to go around their parked car.
Today, neither incident looked deliberate. But both the cyclist in the first incident, and the car driver in second, were extremely unaware of what was going on around them.
But, with the stupidity of cyclist 1, he was only endangering himself, whereas the driver in the 2nd, was endangering somebody totally innocent of their actions.
While in the first incident, a collision would have been another HGV left turn, and a cyclist incident to argue about it. There's no way the driver would be to blame. But it would have been another stat.
We can argue about stats, and fault all the time, cyclist in some situations may be able to do more to keep themselves safe from idiots. But as motor vehicle drivers, you have to be aware that when you oblivious to your surrounding, you're not endagering just yourself, but often an innocent party.
As a cyclist, you are primarily only endagering yourself. Yes we see incidents like the recent Blackpool one, and it is nasty, but they very, very, very rarely result in a fatality. How does it compare to impacts with vehicles?
As a motorcyclist for 11 years, I feel I have developed some very good defensive riding abilities. I have never been knocked off a motorcycle, or a bicycle. Nor have I been in a car accident in that time either. I agree some cyclists need to learn more about keeping themselves safe on the road, and what they can do to reduce the chances of idiots involving them.
So while I agree some cyclists can do more, their inaction only harms them, the inaction of drivers to do more to improve their driving harms others.

! Now just to add a little more fuel to the fire, 
there are SOME cyclists who do themselves no favours by cycling in dull / dark coloured outfits. Yes, I know what some of you will say, 'why should I have to look like something from the Mardis Gras festival when I use a bike' but it's common sense; the brighter you are, the more likely you are to be seen in time. Basis logic. And DON'T get me started on decent lights - !
