Unhappy One for the girls - Truck drivers

Ever since I have had this car, I get lorry drivers tooting the horn at me as I draw level with them.

They can't possibly see me properly as I am nearly on the floor in comparison with them. They must be able to identify that I am vaguely female and therefore think that they should show their appreciation. I have also noticed that if I get tooted by one, that the next few lorries I pass do the same, so they must be on the radio!

I find this very strange, and it must be the car as they don't do it when I'm driving my subaru legacy!

Does this happen to you aswell girls?

A man unconsciously computes your age and sex from a fleeting glimpse of an area of your skin not much bigger than a postage stamp. The fact that you have Titian hair, which clashes wildly with your red car, and alabaster skin is further stimulus. Men are quite predictable - love 'em.

Make the most of it and hope it doesn't turn Thelma and Louise. One day you will be invisible.

It doesn't happen to me but I don't go unnoticed.

You'll never go unnoticed MQ! You are probably going too fast for them to compute!

Yeah, people told me I wasn't allowed to drive a red car with red hair. I'm just a rebel like that!

If you can't beat them join them! I'm going to toot at them first now!

MY05 Horn is much improved - if the older horn is anything like the Integra's was, I'd rather be honking on a vuvuzela
