Do you wear a Hi-Viz jacket?
As I commute I have previously found that when I didn't wear Hi-Viz I almost became invisible.
There are some useless pricks on the road, and it appears to be getting worse, so it's of great importance to me to make myself as visible and audible as possible.
Proper Hi-Viz jacket, not the builders type, but a proper fitted jacket, reflective Arai stickers on my lid and fairing, reflective strip of tape around the top box, extra LED strips on side of fairing linked to indicators, beeping indicators, a very loud air horn, a Moto GP end can which is also very loud, and an LED tail light which has built in indicators as well as the original indicators. Oh, and double headlight mod.
All extra stuff to be seen and heard just that little bit more, but it certainly all helps on a daily basis if you're a commuter.
Don't let the bastards get you down, although I do appreciate it can be frustrating.
