When I'm approaching an intersection with cars at or near it, I always try to weave my bike from side to side in my lane.
If one of the cars is being drivien by one of those"I didn't see him folks" this may help them to spot me.
I also play a game with myself when riding, it's called "Where's the threat?".
I concentrate on the vehicle that could get me and then the next one and so on.
Always drive scared.

Same here, even out on devided highways with a crossover. If there is a cage waiting to cross, I want to be closer to the car in front rather than 2 seconds back. My wife ask, why are you speeding up right here, I say strengthening my position
