I averaged getting run off the road about 2 times a year, from people who obviously didn't see me. I live a bit east of Cleveland, Ohio USA, a couple miles off lake Erie. Weather in these parts familiar to those in Seattle or Glasgow. (Ok probably a bit cooler in the winter.) With a grey sky and a bit of haze that little silver car would disappear to many other drivers. Driving with the lights on all the time helped some. Finally had to get rid of that car, couldn't trust the kids to drive the thing. Car was a nice ride, but someone was going to clobber that thing sooner or later. I'd rather it wasn't someone I was closely related to. dave
