Huh? The Wikipedia article says:
"Vehicular cycling (VC) is the practice of driving bicycles on public roads in a manner which is visible, predictable, and in accordance with the rules of the road for operating a vehicle. "
It also states that the VC
principle is: "Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles".
Diane (and you?) are confusing the definition of VC with the VC principle.
In other words, the definition of VC is acting like a vehicle driver.
Whether acting like a vehicle driver, and being treated like one, causes a cyclist to "fare best", is a separate but related issue.
