Had the car for a couple of months now and had a few near misses, seems no-one can see me. Is Silverstone so grey it blends into the tarmac? Anyone else have this problem?

After 4 weeks I came back to the car to find a large scrape on the bumper, no note left of course. Excellent repair job done this weekend by Chips Away.

On Friday I was on a roundabout when some idiot entered the roundabout straight in front of me causing me to slam on (fortunately it wasn't raining or I wouldn't have stopped).

Then today I'm driving down a street and some woman comes straight out of a side road, chatting to her friend and didn't even look. Don't think she even realised she'd gone straight over a give way. Lucky there was nothing coming the other way as I had to swerve to wrong side of road, hearing a sickening screech of brakes alongside me and thinking "but my lovely car was only repaired yesterday..." Pulled over and she said "sorry, didn't see you". Gaahhh!! I don't think the car is that small so I'm wondering if it's the colour? Stealth grey anyone?

Apart from that, loving it but wondering if I should have gone for yellow Never had this problem with my yellow MX5...

 

I've had Silverstone for 7 years, 200,000 miles, and never had this problem.

Be prepared for the idiots, observe what's going on and be ready for them, there are plenty about

 

Drive round with your headlights on and see what happens?

 

Yea, I was going to say, try keeping the lights on during the day. Press and hold the plus key to change the dash to full brightness with the headlights on.

 

Not a bad idea actually.

 

No...it's not just you

+1 for the lights though.

 

I think its dopey people like this who have brought about the whole ugly daytime running lights thing

 

Ever since my hit and run a few years ago I've had my lights on during the day. It still doesn't always help, and I'm pretty sure it annoys some people..

 

Loud exhausts save lives

 

Not only is it invisible..... but it weighs such a small amount that when 2 other cars have "rubbed" my rear bumper.... they didn't even feel it, which is why they drove away without stopping!

Honda have created an invisible, mass-less car!
