My riding mindspace is:
No one sees me except police and other riders.
Everyone is out to kill me.
With those thoughts in my head I stay out of peoples blind spots and always try to give myself an out. I prefer drivers to not anticipate me and just pay attention and be consistent. (Seems to be a lot to ask though.)

I did get to do a ride in California once and did some lane splitting. Scared the crap out of me. Drivers seemed to take offence that we were moving and they were not and would intentionally take up space and close us off. I don't know how riders there do that all the time.
