That’s cute, but the untrustworthiness really only flows in one direction, and it’s not the one you wrote. There’s a reason roads never needed traffic signals or a whole bunch of rules until the automobile showed up, and why multi-use paths closed to automobiles still don’t.
Everyone makes mistakes. Cyclists and pedestrians are just as imperfect as drivers. I can not trust a cyclist or pedestrian to not maneuver in front of my car unsafely the same way I can not trust other drivers to always be safe. That is literally the entire point of “defensive driving.”
