A simple "what color is this traffic light?" test would go a long way towards saving cyclist lives thats for sure, but when you're that exposed to 4,000lbs vehicles moving at ~50+ MPH operated by people who took at best, 8 hours of instruction from their health class teacher, well, a lot of the issues you run into are not going to be your fault.

That's a fair point. My context is London England which can be dangerous if cycling on roads, but in most instances traffic is so congested and there are specific cycle paths and routes. From reading some of the other posts, it sounds like distraction is a major issue regardless of the mode of transport.
