Had a cyclist illegally cross horizontal to a lane on a 40mph road, almost resulted in a 3 car collision - luckily all three drivers (including me and the car behind me) were paying attention.

A cyclist absolutely can cause deaths by not obeying the laws of the road.

What you're really saying here is that cars are so inherently dangerous that they amplify unlikely-to-be-deadly mistakes from other road users into events that are very likely to be deadly.
