Like I said before, there are two things here - one's the principle (which is that drivers are usually the ones to blame and that government policy is a bloody mess) and the other is the practice (which is to take care of yourself because drivers/govt are doing such a poor bloody job of it).
I dunno, I've seen a couple of nasty car accidents (not involving bikes) where someone did something because they had the right of way when it was obvious that someone else on the road was acting like a loon. I don't think it's wise to assume that principles are any kind of physical safeguard.
