Anytime Iโ€™m cycling I make sure I know where every car is and never let any vehicle sneak up on me, because I expect car drivers to be distracted and oblivious to most laws of the road. Because of this Iโ€™ve not had any close calls yet

Bicycles should have mirrors and turn signals for this reason IMO.

Lol they have turn signals, big ones, with their left arm. Of course, they need to actually use the signalโ€ฆ

And the mirror? But sorry, thereโ€™s a reason we donโ€™t stick large mannequin hands on cars, never mind that it forces driver to hold the handlebar with one arm as they have to prepare for a turn.

If you think hand signals are a substitute for turn signals and make no note for mirrors, you donโ€™t drive, period. As someone who drives and bikes, I can tell you that cars pay a lot more attention when you put in the effort.
