Some guy in a mazda did a blind no shoulder check lane change with no signal which forced me to hit the brakes and swerve out of the lane to avoid the collision.

To say I was mad was a understatement since I don't even have 1000km on the odometer yet.

Glad you and your car are OK.

Yep, ya gotta stay alert when you drive a small, low car ......

Drove to a Dr appt, on the way back I even got to do some FFS :-D from a light. Did not crash.

Had a fun drive in to work this morning. Fridays are usually light on traffic, but today was extra light. Accidentally got the car (slightly) sideways making a left turn at an intersection. Glad there weren't any cops nearby as I'm sure that drew attention. Anyway, did not crash!

On the way home from some friends last night, made a left turn at a traffic light (similar to American right turn I guess), but was stupid and didn't see the oncoming car properly. Rechecked blind spot and slammed on brakes, confirming that my ABS still works.

Other car hooted at me, I deserved it. But we did not crash.

I made a terrible judgment call and put my 200tw tires on Monday. Last night on my way home from work, the temperature dips back down n to the high 20s, super windy, with snow falling. I made my 40 minute drive home with minimal tire spin and didn't crash! (kept a great distance between myself and cars in front of me)

Drove my car to work today. What comfort, what a quiet ride, and padding on the seat! What luxury.

Had to dodge a dead cat in the road, did not crash.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but, your car doesn't have a blind spot in the front ...... the blind spot is in the back.

I figure that the blind spot was in your eye ...... most likely caused by something that you consumed at your friends place .......

Drove my FRS today. Did not crash, or almost crash, or do anything exciting. Well, determined that my brake pedal has a suspicious amount of deadspace that I don't remember being there, but nothing else of note.

guybo · 04-06-2018, 10:50 AM

I drove to a safety meeting at work last night. Did not crash. I got passed by a Prius though, I may need therapy or something

Oh, I'm sure that it was downhill, the Prius had an open lane and you were stuck behind traffic ........ now, do you feel better .....??
