Excellent advice. Now why not also tell bike riders not to run red lights, ride against traffic, exceed the speed limit in low MPH zones, or otherwise disobey traffic laws. Few may know it, but in California at least, bicycles are subject to the same traffic regulations as other vehicles on the road. Pardon the pun, but safety is a two street. It's juts that the consequences for the bicyclist are much more dire than for the driver when the two meet.

Yup, I agree that cyclists not just should legally, but should by sanity follow all the rules of the road. The laws of physics are very much slanted against us.

But I gotta say, at least in my neck of the woods, on the rides I go on, the idiotic behavior ratio is slanted very heavily in favor of the car drivers.... :-(
