Never cross in front of a driver-occupied vehicle without eye contact from said driver.

I was intent on getting through the intersection (it's easily a 10-15% time penalty on my commute if I make that light or get stopped) and was going to gamble with someone waiting to make a right. I DID think better of it, but by the time I did I couldn't come to a stop before the intersection, so I had to try to turn off. But I just had too much speed, plus I hit the slope of the corner ramp, so my wheel just went perpendicular and I got dumped.
