What are some ways that cyclists can positively engage drivers, gain their respect, and encourage them to use caution when they are sharing the road with cyclists?

I'll actually put my left hand in something of a "<" position, with my finger pointing to the right. I saw another biker doing this one day, and said, "hey, that's clever!"

Yeah, I sort of wonder sometimes if that wasn't the original intent, like you're pointing to the right over the roof of your car. It's certainly a good mnemonic for folks who have trouble remembering which hand signal is which. :-)
