Yes, I know it's "just" a scooter.

I think that sums it up nicely. I'd add that there are certain "types/profiles" of drivers a rider needs to keep an eye out for. The kid or overgrown kid in the muscle car, rice racer, angry cab guy, cellphone talking mom in SUV are just several kinds of folks I tend to avoid with extra effort. Any of the above mentioned would also qualify for those kinds of people who should definitely NOT ride a bike. “if you had to sum up the attitude it might be: awareness of your surroundings, and awareness of the intentions of other vehicles as well as the ability to make yourself seen by cars.”
