That's why I won't ride on public roads (except for the neighborhood residential roads that lead to the local lake), unless I am with a group.
Your chances of being killed in a group are much less, but not negligible.
It doesn't matter how careful you are, there will still be careless drivers.
Every serious cyclist knows someone that has been killed. I helped a cycling widow move a couple of years ago. Her husband was in my club.
