Sounds like what you said:

And yet we ARE safer because there is less drunk driving out there.
I'll take that as a yes.
And yet...? Like anything I said contradicted our ability to reduce drunk driving? Just to be clear, I'm writing in English; what language are you reading in?
Let me reword my statement to a 3rd grade level and see if it becomes clear for you...
It might be relatively easy for society to provide classes for motorists.
But what would we teach in these classes that would make cycling safer?
What do motorists need to know that they don't already know about cycling?
And how will knowing this, assuming they actually learn it, reduce the numbers of car-bike collisions and fatalities?
I don't think it will at all.
