I had a close call last night when I drove my FR-S up to jack-in-the-box to get a sandwich.
I pulled up to the speaker to order, there wasn't anyone before or after me in line. After a spell of no response from Jack, I yelled at them, still no response ...... so, I thought their sensors hadn't picked up my small car, so I went to back up a bit to retrigger the sensor. Yep, you guessed it, some sneaky bastard had pulled in behind me (in stealth mode) and when I went to back up, he honked at me. When will I EVER learn ...... I did not crash ..... humfrz |

Was on the 401 sunday morning, went to right lane to pass a truck cuz my exit was coming up anyways. Was about to pass truck but suv in front decided to drive the same speed as truck and not let anyone pass.
Truck turns on blinkers... Me thinks he knows I'm there because he does not try to switch lanes for a good 5 seconds+. Then the gap between truck and my FRS becomes narrows super fast... had to swerve right hard (luckily exit lane opened just in nick of time). Did not crash... looked in rear view mirror, all cars behind slowed down in shock. |

Had a pretty uneventful week last week. Pretty much every time I get in my car at least one person does something stupid (sometimes it's me), but nothing too bad comes to mind. Safe to say, I drove my car and still did not crash it.

1. NEVER assume they see you. 2. Especially if choosing to pass on the right (or left in the UK, Japan, Aussieland, ...) refer to tip 1. 3. FFS, don't be passing just to get to an exit. Sheesh!

Have you drove the 401 by Mississauga? By passing he means they were probably doing 20mph and he was doin 25.

This. My dad drives a harley and when I got this car he told me all about the biker rules because he saw how small the car is and how every other car is a pick up truck driven by a testosterone-fuelled bro around here and it has helped out alot. This was the golden rule. No matter how loud you are.. assume you are invisible. For thread relevance purposes here is a story from this weekend. Driving down Brant st. on saturday and got revved at by a turbo diesel lifted custom exhaust-having brotruck*(technical term) at a light. Did nothing. just dusted him to get in front an turn right when it went green. Dude got mad (obviously) and pulls up to the left of me at the next light. Good tihng I saw his GIANT exaust tip pointed right at my window and smelled the diesel, closed my window right away and sure enough as I waited to make my right turn he tried to smoke me. If I hadn't closed my window who knows if he would have done it but my car would have been filled with black smoke.... Didn't crash

Knew there had to be a name for it. Not nice.

So Today I was in the right turning lane, and this lady in some cute kia cuv keeps inching forward out of a gas station like there are no cars there till the Kia emblem was like on the window..... had to maneuver out of the right turning lane to avoid some bad shit..... just another day in vegas i guess. The cars behind us must be amazed of what's going on upfront. |

I said "almost". She went through between us. For a sec, I thought I was on some kind of car action movie. Amazing how she missed both of us.
