Maybe I'm just chicken, but I'd rather stop (and be safe) than confront a driver. While my experience is that more drivers are considerate than not, I don't want to chance an accident.

One thing I've found very interesting is that when I'm riding in traffic and I am able to move to the left and I signal a left turn, that the oncoming drivers will often stop and wave me though. If cars are heading toward me though, I'd rather take the time to stop.
