I been riding for 40 years. You control the other drivers by controlling yourself. Riding with an attitude that everyone has the potential of killing you is how I managed to stay alive. Treat every potential threat as real. Have a plan should the unexpected occur. Cars violating your right of way is the killer. If you see someone turning left or pulling out from a side street, think of them as potential threats. Slow down, make eye contact and cover your brakes in case they do something stupid.
Ride with complacency and you will die.
