* 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!

I've had a Miata and an Mr2 Spyder, and I don't remember people pulling out onto the highway in front of me as much as they have in the FR-S.. of course I was younger back then and may not have noticed since I wasn't the "careful driver" either.
