Ever since I saw the video posted here about how a bike is perceived by another driver (and I can't remember who posted it but whoever did, thank you) I've started zig zagging when approaching a car that's about to pull onto the road or make a left turn in front of me to make myself more visible. More than once I've had them wave (in a good way) to acknowledge they've seen me. There's defensive riding and then there's proactive defensive riding, I prefer the latter. Yes, it's the responsibility of the driver of that car to see me but the knowledge of that isn't going to help me any in a hospital bed.
