Always ride assuming that the drivers of the vehicles don't see you.
Lets say I was wrong (which I don't believe) I have no reason to be upset that this guy tried to take my leg off with his big chrome bumper? and it wasn't like I pulled into a turning lane, I don't know where he thought he was going but it was like he was trying to crash into a curb and I was in between.
And around here, you ride on the shoulder on a bicycle unless you have no other room and have to take the lane, lest you want to be flattened. I've never ever seen a bicyclist from a little kid to a roadie out in full kit wait 6th in line at a traffic light.
