[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1215978, member: 436"] I can't agree with a couple of your points. 1) Bright lights and colors and loud horns do help. They improve the odds of getting the driver's attention before the crash. A startled driver is a lot better than a bumper in your knee. 2) All of the excuses for careless and inattentive driving do not let the driver off the hook. I don't care how quiet the interior of the car is or how big the blind spot is, or anything else, a driver is responsible to know what is going on around him before he pulls out or changes lanes. I agree that we will always be the loser in a crash with a car regardless of who caused the crash, and that means that we must be constantly vigilant, but I will not accept that the driver has a valid excuse because he wasn't paying enough attention.
