Let's move the needle and talk about things you do as a cyclist that prevents or deters accidents. Here's one of my favorites: "The Fake Right Turn". If I see a car ahead of me attempting to make a turn onto the street I'm traveling on, I often signal that I'm turning right to let the car know they can move forward (especially if that "car" is a truck, school bus, ups or amazon or fedex driver). After they turn I keep going straight. If the car doesn't make a right because of traffic behind me or whatever reason, I do in fact make the right turn and continue until I am able to go behind all visible traffic, U-turn, and make a right turn onto my original path.

Caveats: I'm a solo rider, riding a mountain bike

BTW, based on current poll results, I'm "winning"...
