Re: [DMCForum] Re: Are we that hard to see?

[<fhudkins@xxxxxxx>]

I always drive with my lights on, and always have, even when I was driving
a 
white Plymouth Duster, which is hard to miss!

And speaking of hard-to-miss, it apparently is IMPOSSIBLE for some to
miss, if 
you're a five-foot-nothing 20-something girl possessing assisted-blonde
hair, 
the precancerous sheen of one too many tanning sessions, and a heated
cell-
phone conversation going on, while driving your 3-month-old Toyota
4-Runner, 
the steering wheel of which you can't see over. I got "merged" into by a
pre-
med student. I'm sure she'll go far.

"All right, let's install the new heart. No, wait ... my cell phone's
ringing."

[beep ... beep ... beep ... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

"Uh oh."

By the way: anybody find it interesting that a "near-miss" is not a
collision? 
After all, she nearly missed ...

Time for the fifth cup of coffee...
