I don't find a conflict between EC and bad drivers. The danger they create is not worsened by EC, but actually improved if anything. Bad drivers tend to be the agressive go fast kind or the inattentive. The fast ones don't like the outside lane and they like being 'racer' aware of what is in front of them. The run red lights, they swerve thru traffic, etc. The inattentive ones will become more attentive of you if they see you coming before making a right turn in front of you. I believe that being more visible and being clear about intention actually is better than hugging the curb and making yourself invisible.
