Keep your ****in eyes open & brain switched on. assume nobody can see you & those that can want to kill you.
The SMIDSY move up the page works well, your eyes pick movement well before they pick colours. Hi-Vis is too common now, and usually on stopped/slow moving obstacles (binmen, cyclists, roadworkers ect.)
Probably not allowed in NY but filter up to the front at lights & get clear before the rest catch up with you. They're not going to change lanes if there's no space to go to.

That's basically shine a torch in someone's face & ask them to judge your speed & position when you approach
high beam gives them a general direction, but obscures your actual position & speed of approach.
Revving the engine on a 250 sends what noise it does make backwards, not ideal if you're trying to alert someone ahead of you.
