What is the best way to deal with a driver in a car that has not seen you?

Using your horn and hand signals while being prepared to react is considered the best way to deal with a driver who has not seen you. This approach allows you to alert the driver to your presence, increasing the chances that they will notice you. Sounding your horn can draw attention to your motorcycle, which is especially important since motorcycles are smaller and can be less visible than larger vehicles. Hand signals can further communicate your intentions to the driver. Additionally, being prepared to react means that you are ready for any sudden movements from the vehicle, allowing you to maintain your safety.

Other techniques, such as speeding past quickly or making eye contact and waving, may not effectively communicate your presence to the driver or may add to the risk of a potential accident. Being aware of the vehicle's blind spot and moving closer might also put you in a dangerous position if the driver still does not see you, increasing the likelihood of a collision. By using your horn and hand signals, you enhance your visibility and can better control the situation.
