don't rely on the rules of the road, signs, lights or drivers actually paying attention to protect you. Look out for yourself and be hyper vigilant eveytime.

Assume every car as possible sus and assume the worst everytime.

It seems messed up thinking 100ways to die on a bike but it's the reality of things. Soon you'll be able to predict car movements based on how they are acting or not acting in a normal situation.

I suggest joining bicycle groups to get comfortable riding your bike and the local roads. You'll gain experience faster.

Start understanding flows of traffic at different times and the % increase of risk on every road. Your choice to bust em or avoid them.
