In the example of a wide lane, and an 'as far right as practicable' steady as she goes, predictable lane positioning, a rider assumes they've been seen by traffic in both directions, and plans as if they haven't been. upcoming on cross traffic, asssume they've seen you, but plan as if they haven't. oncoming, assume you're being seen, plan that you're not. overtakers, assume you've been seen, plan that you haven't been.
Here's my question: why even bother assuming they have seen you if you are going to assume that they haven't? What advantage does that first assumption give you since it's completely negated by the second?
Can you try to give one specific example of you demonstrating this technique? From previous discussions, I'm almost positive you won't but I'm asking again anyway.
