Hey, a motorist who sees you and gives you grief is many times less likely to kill you then one who simply doesnt see you. Grief from motorists is good when ure a cyclist (not optimal, but good) Being visible to motorists is the #1 thing u can do to be safer.
You just cycle wherever and however is physically safest, the road laws and regulations are not designed to keep you safe, they're designed for motorists to be able zoom around wherever they want unimpeded by anything. The only law you should be concerned about are the laws of physics.
When motorists are beeping at me, I take it as a beautiful fanfare to celebrate 'safety achieved' hurray hurray you can see me!
