If we were ever to go down the route of making cyclists pass tests and get insurance how many would just say "sod this "and go and buy a car or a motorbike thus increasing the congestion .

Cyclists have insurance; we are covered by (your) vehicle insurance.
I agree drivers need educating; their education is underway.

Not a copper to be seen of course.
