If you were in VMC then VFR rules apply (see and avoid) and it is both
pilot's responsibilty to watch for traffic. Otherwise just get flight
following, couple up the autopilot, and read a good book. Let the other
guy
watch out for you


VFR rules apply when you're operating VFR, IFR rules apply when you're
operating IFR, "see and avoid" applies when weather conditions permit.
