If you think a driver doesn't see you and is going to pull a boner, why not hit the horn just to make sure they see you.

Anticipate. Most important of all. Loud exhaust and loudest air horn you find helps too

My brother in law got nailed last week, broken collar bone, 5 ribs and punctured lung.
He is very luck to be alive.

Good friend almost got nailed yesterday.

Don't want to live in fear, but you gotta think about all the ******** preoccupied with cell phones and crackberrys.

Was in my Suburban on Sunday in the center lane making a left in to a strip mall with an a$$ hole in front of me also turning, I see a bagger comming at me with all 3 lights on riding 2 up at about 30 mph with a pick up truck a few car lengths behind. The F*#% head in front of me turns right in front of the bike I mean only inches to spare.
I pull in and go confront her (my wife was pissed until she heard the drivers remark) The crazy Bit#% said "What motorcycle, I didn't pull in front of a motorcycle!" At that point my wife wanted to kick her a$$.

Ride like every car is out to kill you!!!!

I'm having the air horn installed today. It's the one extra thing that I think will help. Louder pipes really will not as today's cars are so well insulated that if you are a short distance away they merge with the rest of the ambient noise.

However, the dual range decibels of the air horn penetrate just about anything, especially at slower speeds. (Think of the fire truck going through and intersection. You maybe didn't here the siren approaching, but you darn well here the air horn in the intersection)
