As a tip - when you approach a vehicle that is at a stop perpendicular to your path of travel, watch the vehicle's wheels rather than the entire box. Unless said vehicle has spinners, you will be able to determine if they are rolling much easier than watching the big box.

There ARE such things as accidents. It is our own personal responsibility to be able to minimize accidents happening to us by being aware of our surroundings or path of travel; and setting our own pace able to maneuver should something happen.

Also, try to make "eye contact" with the driver. Slow down if you are unsure that they see you and cover your brakes just in case!!! B I O N, I do this everyday and it has saved my ass many times.
