Even that's too far (assuming you mean "kerb"). If you're so paranoid and untrusting of drivers that you feel the need to constantly ride as if they're reckless monsters who need to be prevented from killing you (and wouldn't care if they did), it's probably best not to cycle at all. Cycling inevitably involves placing trust in drivers...take it or leave it, but if you do decide to cycle, don't treat motorists as if they're homicidal scum. They don't want to run you over any more than you want to be run over, and it's time the car-haters stopped pretending otherwise.
