It is not only 'stupid' cyclists that get killed by stupid motorists. Many motorists fail the rocket science test daily; it's just that for cyclists, and I accept that there are varying rider skill levels as there is driving ability, the result can be catastrophic.
No, it would be poor judgement. But then, town planners are guilty of poor judgement for not properly accommodating all road users within their designs. The result is bolt-on arrangements for cyclists that are just not good enough.

Have to agree with much of what you say.
When my father started teaching me to drive, well over 40 years ago, he said:
"Just remember that everyone on the road is an idiot, including you, and you won't go far wrong!"
