Crashed Yaris - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have a 3 dr blue, and I have to stop all the time for people pulling out in front of me, and I have to flash my brake lights at people sometimes cause they don't seem to be stopping in time. I have heard several people squeal tires to stop behind me, and several cars not even look in my direction in front of me. I have had 4 seriously close calls in my car, including a scratch on my rear bumper, and both mirrors pushed into the car (they fold in, luckily) and the other driver appoligizing over and over, "I didn't see you! I am so sorry!". It's just a small car.

I think people just ignore the fact I'm on the road ... I got rear ended in the middle of January last year (the car wasn't even a full year old) in RUSH HOUR traffic, while EVERYONE except the 17 year old on her cell phone was at a stop. She slammed right in to me. Lucky for me, it was like -30 that morning so my bumper shattered.

You can't even tell it got hit now, I went to one of the most expensive body shops in Minnesota. :)

I feel bad for our poor little cars ... people just ignore them and slam into them constantly!

I HAVE Silver Star headlights, and people flash their brights at me, and I flash them right back. Ticks people off at night. But for some reason durning the day they are invisible... good to know my cloaking devise works on my car. Not sure how to turn it off though.
