1. Avoid overtaking lorries on their left
2. Check behind you before changing position on the road (e.g passing parked cars).
3. Make eye contact with other road users, visibility is the only thing
4. Position yourself where everyone can see you
5. Get in front of trucks and buses enough so the drivers see you
6. Position yourself out of the gutter so oncoming (right turning) traffic sees you
7. Even behind a van/truck/bus....MAKE yourself seen, thats your responsibility
8. Put a bell on your bike (use till experienced and confident)
9. Put a brake on your bike (essential for most, legal for all)
10. [from moving target]

11. Vocally make pedestrians aware of your movements
12. Do not switch lanes or cut between traffic without looking for other cyclist/motorcyclist filtering down the gaps
13. When passing parked cars, check over your shoulder and pull out with plenty of time.
14. Over exaggerate hand signals, so everyone gets the message
15. Look for opening car doors. Even better, always give them a wide berth, but see 13.
16. Keep an eye on the opposite lane. White van wants to turn right and across you. Taximan doing a U-Turn.
