But with the modification of your Commandment Two as follows: Commandment Two: (Choose either a or b and ride accordingly) a) assume you are invisible to all other vehicles and you maybe hit by any of them accidently. or b) assume every other vehicle can see you. And they all intend to hit you intentionally if physically possible. Choose the one which you think offers the highest probability of allowing you to continue to walk the earth and ride accordingly. Or in the case of kayakers. Substitute water traffic and paddle accordingly. Later....
