Well, dudeslife, after driving a miata for 8 years and my FR-S for 3 years, I've gotten used to other drivers not "seeing me".

Why don't they see small cars .. ??

* like @Tcoat says ..... the are small, low and ours are white

* like @TRD-X says .... people just aren't payen attention

* like shiumai says ....."I try to make sure that i'm not suddenly in a place where people think i wasn't". Especially OLD people ..... takes them a while to process where you are ... especially if you keep making those "jerky" sports car moves.

My advice to my self is:

NEVER assume a person "sees" you, even if they are looking right at you.

ALWAYS drive my FR-S like I was riding on a motorcycle

WATCH MY SIX ..... this car can stop faster than 90% of the vehicles behind me .... so cut em some slack

Be safe!
