You have attempt to be absolutely carful all of the time, whatever vehicle you are riding/driving. You should never move a vehicle into a space without looking to see if it is safe to do so and that shouldn't be too hard to remember.
This is because everyone makes mistakes (ourselves included) and sometimes people do moronic things. Even morons don't deserve to be hurt so we should aim to be alert for the mistakes of others to avoid the worst from happening. All of the time.
In relation to points 3, i think there is lots of publicity about this. Have you seen the stickers on the back of trucks/busses/vans recently?
I don't think point 4 is an issue if your already taking your time and being carful.
For all the rules regulations and rationalisations out there we all just need to take our time and look out for each other and quit the blame game. It doesn't help anyone.
