Anyway, few drivers know what the hell to expect from a bike anyway - most expect bikes to stay off the roads entirely. I don't ride safely to help drivers be sympathetic to cyclists; I ride safely so I don't get squished. As one post mentioned, it's the infrastructure that needs fixing, not cyclists' little cheats that are necessary to make the roads sensible for bikes.
