Like when riding a motorcycle, proceed as if you are 100% responsible for your own safety. Because you are.

A long time ago, I used to ride and I was always aware that some people just don't see a motorcycle: kinda like they are only looking for cars and don't see motorcycles. Thus, I always rode with my lights on. One afternoon I saw a little white haired lady pull up to a stop sign and look right at me. I was watching her at 70 mph: cut the speed just as she started to pull out right in front of me. Being aware of what she might do helped to avoid a broadside crash. I manage to go around her, but the bike still when down. She stopped and apologized, and said she just didn't see me.
The point: even when you are careful, try to avoid people who are not.
