The core problem isn't that we need to just train cyclists, but EVERYONE as to their real responsibilities RE RRFDV.
Even if we could train everyone and change human nature, there's still issues such as high speed differentials, human error, and the plain truth that its unpleasant to ride a 50 mph 6 lane road....I know, I do it every day. Limiting cyclists options to only RRFDV is stupid and counter productive.
