Which is why the "you must never go in cloud without radar" brigade are so misguided.
I agree with you Timothy. I would summarise as follows:
There is undoubtedly a risk of collision in IMC and undoubtedly an increased risk without a radar service but the risk is still very low and massivley lower than the risk when flying in good VMC. If you're worried about flying in IMC without radar then you should be so worried about flying in good VMC that you should never do it.
...and people fly around in good VMC with their eyes closed (metaphorically) all the time
