I hate to hear when a cyclist has been hit and killed by a motorist. I rode in the SLC area for the first time last year and all the traffic made me nervous. I complain about the winters in Rexburg but I love the quiet country roads to ride on in the summer time.
I've been lucky that in my twenty years and 40,000 miles I've only gone down one time. This happened my first year when a car pulled out in front of me. I think the keys are to keep your head on swivel, make sure the cars around you are aware of you and never ride into the sun while it is setting.
