Fair enough. I know there is a huge variation in cycling skills (as there is amongst car drivers, motorcyclists etc) and this can erode the respect that all road users must have for each other so that we can all get home for tea safely. Many less-skilled riders are learners and children.
When in my car, I will try always to protect them because I don't want to deprive a family of a mum or dad, son or daughter, and nor do I want to have the responsibility for someone's death.
When on my bike, I just want to stay alive.
