I have noticed since I bought my Z that it seems no one can see me. Its almost like driving a motorcycle. I have almost been hit about three times with people making lane changes and not knowing I was there. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

Yep....especially the SUV's and other "tall" vehicles. You have to drive extra "def/offensively" in a Z.

 

i've gotten pushed onto the shouler or had to swerve to the lane next to me cause retards dont know how to properly and safely change lanes, relying only on their mirrors! there's a thing called blind spots.......

 

No matter what I'm driving, I try to never be on side of another vehicle, especially to the side and behind (the blind spot). I make it a point to stay in front of cars in other lanes. I want to make sure they see me!

 

Agree 100%. As a general rule, I NEVER drive in someone's blind-spot if I can avoid it. That's like asking to be hit. I also don't allow people to stay in my blind-spot. I'll move so that I can see them in one of my mirrors and keep my blind spots clear. That way if I ever had to swerve, I've got clear area behind me.

 

I drive my ZR just like I do on my motorcycle. Soccer Moms everywhere!

 

i had a few close calls myself.

 

leave your self some space...

 

Driving with HID ON helps a lot !

 

Just do 154 mph .. they won't even have time to hit you!!










haha jk .. I just rev at the soccer mom's .. and they stare you down at the stop lights like YOU did something wrong ..

 

When I am in my Xterra I can actually se the soccer moms, in my Z all I can see is the side of there SUV door

 

Shiny new car syndrome. I drove saturns for years and nobody ever touched those cars but I have the z for 3 weeks and some dude backs right over me with his big *** truck.

 

Yeah, I always just make sure I'm right beside someone and not in their blindspot.

 

Yeah, before the Z I was driving my 4x4 GMC PU (with big *** tires) and I could see everyone around me. Got the Z and Holy Shitt!!.. like nobody knows I was there. Yes I agree you have drive very defencively, first thing I did was buy one of those fish eye mirrors for the blind spot. As you all well know the Z has a huge blind spot.

 

And you have a Daytona Blue!

Also, keep moving (3 or 4 mph faster, 3 or 4 mph slower, any speed other than what nearby cars are traveling), you never want to become an unmoving object in someones vision, mirrors or otherwise. Being hunters, the human brain picks up on movement, so keep moving and you will be remembered, things that don't move are forgotten.
