That's just the thing.......I don't have a "position", and I won't limit myself just to "stand by" an internal belief.
I have situational awareness, and the willingness to adapt to actual conditions.
I ride the same roads every day on my commute, yet I ride them differently every day. Distracted drivers are a concern, but they are a random encounter, and they don't all behave the same, some weave like a drunk, some forge straight ahead without seeing a thing, and the transition to such behavior can be as sudden as flipping a light switch. Not the best circumstances for the expectation that they will see and react correctly in a timely manner. there's simply to many constantly changing variables beyond "being seen" to make decisions based on preconceived notions, or being reliant on a single course of action.
