The next time you’re crossing a street: make eye contact with the drivers of oncoming cars so they won’t run you over. According to LifeHacker, it’s vital drivers meet your gaze in a momentary stare-down so they understand it’s your right of way. To improve the odds, lift a hand and wave or signal a friendly “stop” gesture to the driver. This tends to force them to make eye contact, or at the very least, makes it more likely that they’ll see you.
