The important bit is to know what the safety ramifications *are*.

It isn't what you don't know that hurts you, it's what you think you
know that isn't so.

Things like active vs passive safety, road position, predictability,
usefulness or otherwise of eyecontact, heaps of things that need to be
carefully thought about rather than just assumed based on gut feeling.
