If you're too far away to see his face or his tire, and you're still at risk, you're going too fast period.
(From what I gather, left turns into oncoming motorcyclist is one of the most common accidents outside rider error and riding drunk, so I'm always thinking about it)
- Make sure you see the car in the left lane
- Realize he may be about to do something stupid
- Lower your speed a bit
- Watch his front left tire (that's his tell)
- Meet his eyes
- Wiggle your bike
- Flip your high beam on/off
