I think it's important to spend as little time as possible in people's "blind 
spots" when on a multi-lane freeway or motorway-ie too far forward for them 
to see you in their side mirror, but not far enough for them to  actually see 
you out of the corner of their eye. I read about quite a few accidents caused 
my motorcyclists being "cut off" and the motorist later saying, or otherwise 
indicating that he didn.t see the MC.
