I don't know about you, but I've had an incident where someone completely pulled out in front of my 914 without seeing it.
I think one needs to drive a Porsche (sports car) defensively, almost with the same mindset as you would drive a motorcycle. |

I think one needs to drive a Porsche (sports car) defensively, almost with the same mindset as you would drive a motorcycle. Limited visibility of our small + low cars is a good point Lawrence; when I used to Daily my 914 I would always run with parking lights on at dusk. I also had some close encounters with drivers not seeing me during their lane changes. According to the driver of the Ford that hit Mr. D at that junction ...he recalls looking ahead into the bright sunlit horizon of the road just when taking his merge. Unfortunately for the fast charging 550, it was in a lower grade of the road not visible to the other driver. The "Newer" version of this merging road is better...but it' s still up to the drivers out there. |
