Here is the story. I was stuck in traffic this afternoon. I am trailing some ford explorer and I got a bus sitting about a foot behind my rear bumper. All of a sudden the fords lights spark up and it reverses right into my car. Along the busy street. It, the traffic, was backed up about 50m from the lights and there were people in front of him. What he said happened was the car infront of him pulled out or backed up aswell or some excuse. He hit me just as the reversing sensors started telling him to stop. He just didn't see me. Tyrone. When you reverse, things come from behind you. I wanna know if anyone else has an invisible car or experience with people who just dont check traffic anymore.

A couple of years back everytime I was out on the bike I would nearly be cleaned up.

A quick toot, hit the brakes or fang off and I was ok.

Luckily I have never been hit, though had plenty of close calls.

its the attitude of all drivers in big cars. they think just because they're bigger than everyone else they don't need to watch. I've had people( mainly women in 4wds just drift into my lane on the highway without indicating or anything.

Yea, that is so damn fustrating.

Ahhh but what to do to reduce your blind spot!

Just adjust your mirrors so you cant actually see the rear door handles (like your driving instructor would have told you to do) just so you cant see your own car in your mirrors. Works wonders, does take a littl getting used to.

Don't forget that although they should be checking their blind spot, you should also be trying to stay out of it.

There was stationary him, a car sized gap containing one ME in one regulation sized skyline and then stationary bus. It's not like I was sneaking up on the basterd. I had been traveling behind him for bout 4-500 meters. His blind spot appears to be directly behind him.

^^^ lol don't explorers come with rear view mirrors :( I always have my mirrors set to reduce blind spot just like the instructor says and I never drive in anyones blindspot, I'm too busy overtaking to be sitting in someone's blindspot lol.

Funny story though. I had a copper sit in my blindspot for about 3 kms on the freeway. I was like wdf? Slowed down to like 95km/h in the left hand lane to try and get him to pass and he just slowed down with me and stayed there. :thumbsup:

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
