Just avoid the situations where you are at greater risk from these people. There maybe places you are totally entitled to be, but are probably "poor value" in terms of risk/effort saved.
After getting nearly run over countless times on roundabouts I have totally given up on the big ones. Something about them makes drivers want to get round them as fast as possible and they never have any expectation ever that a cyclist might be on their way round. They are somehow blind to a cyclist in the middle of a lane. So I gave up.
Always just use pedestrian crossings now. Hardly takes longer.
I probably wouldn't do mad shit like ride on A roads Ive done in the past.
