Good tips. I lost my front blinkie last week on a bumpy snow-covered bike path (And I didn't have 2 front lights).
I always wonder about the "be predictable" advice though.
I understand its intent, but one of the tips that stuck most in my mind from my motorcycle course was to intentionally make yourself appear unpredictable in specific situations: eg. where cars may be preparing to cross your path (left turns), you should weave back and forth in your lane on approach. Your apparent side to side movement (from the opposing driver's perspective) makes you "pop" out of the background, particularly if you've got vehicles behind "masking" you.
Anecdotally, I would say it works, and I used it regularly where left turners threatened.
