"Ride like you're invisible to motorists"

To me it means ride very defensively, keep a close eye on them and try
to anticipate their moves, and have an escape plan. I ride in a
prominent position in the hope they will see me. Mostly they do,
however twice recently, despite riding in a prominent position on the
road in broad day light and contrasty clothes, I had drivers come from
side roads on my right who turned on to the street in the same direction
of travel as me - right in front of me, such that I had to take evasive
action to avoid a collision. I believe their view of me was blocked by
the left side A pillar.
