Thanks for responding. As expected, anecdotes are the basis for the risk reduction claims made for the Cycling Savvy and LAB training programs.

Note: Given that most cyclists shun "lane control", especially amongst fast or heavy traffic and instead ride at the edge of the road, or on the shoulder, it is not surprising that you have seen/heard more "reports of crashes" occurring there.
