Leave plenty of room in front when stopped in traffic or at lights and watch mirror. When stuck in slow moving traffic on motorways I always use lane 1 and leave enough space in front so I can dive onto hard shoulder if necessary.
+1 - you really have to drive defensively like a bike rider.
Had a van pull into my lane at walking pace as he switched into my lane a few weeks back. Missed me somehow. Air horn might have helped but really need a steering wheel button. Thinking about LED sidelight bulbs and maybe LED driving lights...
