Default I do hate it when people pull out on me....

I do hate it when people pull out on me and then drive really slowly and hesitantly. Today this has happened 6 times! 3 times I had to brake really sharply. Then I have loads of Kamikazee pedestrians just stepping out in front of me. Sometimes I wonder if my car is invisible. Anyone else get this happening to them?

Yup I know that one. Relieved to hear its not just me too . The thing that amazes me with my car is that its not as if you cant see it, or hear it coming.

i get that as well, although my mate had a really bad encounder with a BMW and an AUDI the other night wear one pulled out right infront of him and the other straight behind him,, if it wasnt for that fact he drives a mini (old one) that would have been a masive accident

a woman pulled out infront of me while crossing around about yesterday. I seen it coming so had stopped in time but I was tempted to hit her as i recently ****ed my front bumper and need a new one.

The funny thing about it was I seen her pulling out so managed to slow down but instead of continuing to drive she stopped. At that point i laughed and waved her on. I'm just glad the guy in the beemer 4x4 behind was paying attention or i'd have no rear bumper either.

oh yeah, just a passing thought, does anyone think the colour of the car has anything to do with not being noticed?

I think colour does matter. Green cars get hit more often. Black and White are the least accident prone colours!! (A sad fact from my time in insurance!) Red is stolen more than any other colour - figure that!

I get mad when people pull out and they are using their mobile phone.
