+1 to this. While lack of eye contact is certainly an indicator of potential trouble, eye contact means far less than it ought to. I've had people who certainly seemed to have eye contact with me pull out right in front and that's with a bright blinking headlight and bright clothes.
This is also why I drive with a whistle in my mouth while in traffic. I can make a lot of noise in a hurry while still having my hands fully engaged in controlling the bike to avoid a collision.
