I’m deaf. Honk all you want, I won’t hear it and won’t get out of your way. The expectation that a passing bike can get the right of way by calling out or using a bell is simply unworkable, and it is unfortunate that it is now the expected rule. As FBinNY said, the passer bears all responsibility to pass safely, no matter what the passee does.
