If it were my own words, I would not have included the adjective "unique".

With regards to how to ride on a regular basis among traffic, I agree with a lot of ideas in Effective Cycling. It conforms to motorcycle riding in many ways. So it is a comfortable strategy for me. I do think that there are situations where l will deviate from the strategy.

EDIT: But to be convincing and to be able to say that a particular strategy is "safest" or "safest known" I do think it requires a scientific process.
