Now, this is not specifically a "riding tip", but it pertains to the issue of rider safety.
I'm a big believer in headlight modulators and brake light flashers. Something about a flashing light that helps kick cager brains out of their stupors.
Now, might they be a little annoying? Perhaps, but if a cager is annoyed it means he knows you're there! I've seen cars start to pull out of a driveway then suddenly stop when they notice the flashing headlamp.
Of course, electronic gizmos are no substitute for situational awareness, but every little bit helps.
