If you make eye contact with a driver at an intersection, what does it mean?

Making eye contact with a driver at an intersection can often be reassuring, but it does not guarantee that the driver has actually seen you or will yield the right of way. While eye contact may indicate that the driver is aware of your presence, it doesn’t ensure that they are fully attentive, or that their intentions are clear. Drivers can become distracted or may misinterpret the situation, leading to potential hazards. Therefore, it is essential for motorcyclists to remain cautious and not rely solely on eye contact for safety.

In contrast, the other options imply a level of certainty regarding the driver's actions or attentiveness, which can be misleading and overlooks the importance of making safe decisions based on a comprehensive assessment of the traffic situation.
