Cyclist road safety is important to me (I ride a bike), so I spend time looking at relevent websites.

Here is a particularly bad one, it is mostly factually correct, but it seems to advise cyclists to wear Hi Viz to help motorists to see you when they are using a mobile.

The worst thing is that it is written by a cycling body.

Always wear a helmet – it will keep you safe unless the driver is trying to unlock their iphone.
