Agreed, it has been quite an interesting change of behavior on Joeys part!
I do agree with his "Agree Button" idea though. As a cyclist I accept full responsibility for my safety, and do not leave it in the hands of others, especially motorists. This does not mean I need to fear riding among, along side, or even directly in front of them though.
Full attention to the task at hand, constantly monitor all area's, maintain a buffer and an escape.
