    7. When approaching a junction where vehicles are waiting to emerge...
    a. Consider rolling off the throttle.
    b. Consider pulling out towards the centre of the road to be more visible (or to the left, if the junction is on the right).
    c. Consider sounding your horn to get their attention.

    You might do one, two, or all three actions, depending on circumstances. If you're wondering if the driver has seen you, take action. Don't leave it to luck.

    You fogot, assume that the car driver is either
    a) blind
    b) deaf
    c) daft
    d) not thinking about driving
    e) asleep
    f) all of the above

    This morning most of the drivers in Bath fell under f.
