Yea the eye contact thing is spot on, but with cars coming from behind it can be a bit tricky. Saturday I made eye contact with someone who still edged out and caused me to have to come to a complete stop. There was no cars behind me, and he was crossing a single road to another side street so waiting would have been zero time or effort for him. I was just shocked at the complete disregard, as was other pedestrians and the other cyclist. I try not to get angry but appeal to their human side like "cmon, you made eye contact and still did that? Why?" etc etc.
