Cyclists must realise, that their safety is on their own judgement.
I have seen loads of accidents on the pavement where it is an offence to cycle.
Even when l drive my car, l don't go anywhere near it, or even juggernauts

Aside from your spelling and grammer there is so much wrong with this post, yes cyclists do silly things and I have been nearly knocked over crossing at a green man.
However motorists are also guilty of similar, ie jumping red lights, speeding up at amber lights, undertaking to name a few. They have passed driving tests so in your words should be safe and know better. One cyclists nearly ran me over yes but at crossings it happens daily with cars, who speed up at the sight of an amber light. When in fact they should be slowing down as it is a sign the lights will go red any moment.
I've seen cars side-swiped at junctions because they have speed to an amber light.
Yes cyclists need to be more careful, but the car and lorry drivers need to be just as careful as they think they are invincible in their metal boxes.
