At one point in my life I rode a bicycle 40+ km per day. I see things nobody else seems to and I think that has a lot to do with it. I cannot win the collision.

Much of being a good driver is just awareness.

One time my light turns green, I don't go. As my wife asks what I'm waiting for, a pickup blows the light. We weren't the first car at that light, and years later she still talks about how there's no way I could know. Well, I didn't get us t-boned at 80 so I must have done something right.

Cyclists too.

I do both and I am constantly surprised at the lack of situational awareness of drivers when I’m a passenger in their cars.

I think truckers probably get the same thing too.

Same, I cycle everywhere and almost feels like I've developed a sixth sense for when a driver will do something stupid.

I'm definitely a better driver because of bicycling. You gain new skills when you know that you're going to come out the loser in almost every collision.

If you cycle and it doesn't make you a better driver (and pedestrian) you're probably a bad driver and a bad cyclist.

A seasoned motorcycle rider should be unable to rip out any hair, due to safely wearing a helmet!
