It’s harder at night when they’re most active. My coworker’s Jeep was totaled on a local highway doing 45mph by a deer running across in a somewhat urban area.

Luckily the Idaho stop / yield laws are being adopted by more states now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop#Legality_by_US_state). I’ve also experienced motor vehicles yield to my bicycle even when they arrive earlier at an intersection if they’re not in a rush, which is nice.

After getting in one too many contact incidents with cars I ended up getting one of those bicycle helmets with turn signals and found that drivers yield more often to me with turn signal lights that when I used hand signals. As if it’s subconscious for them to pay attention to flashing turn signal lights but not hand signals.
