When I drive I’m aware that I’m in the killing machine which means to me that if a bike comes to an intersection and doesn’t look like they’re stopping I consider them having the right of way no matter the situation.
I make space for mopeds and give them also extra care if they’re doing something dumb just because in a collision I’m not the one getting injured. For example in a congested roundabout I know they’re probably going to filter through and pass in front of my car so I just make space so that it can be done safely.
I treat cyclists and pedestrians the same, I give them priority in most situations. I also know that stop signs and red lights kill cyclists so I don’t really expect them to do them, I actually prefer if they just go through and disengage the intersection asap.
Yeah, no explain this to carbrained people an example of a tank driving through an intersection at full speed sounds nuts but in reality it’s not that different from cars vs bikes/peds.

Safe and predictable.
