Didn't realize how invisible we are to trucks until I sat in one

With people these days on the cell phone, and in a hurry all the time, I drive defensively and constantly aware and remove myself from people's blind spot.

At the same time you have to be careful when you drive a nice car. People who like to take a moment or two to take notice of your car tend to always be in that blind spot of yours, so I always look in my blind spot esp when I'm going the speed of traffic for a long period.

I assume every vehicle out there is going to hit me if at all possible. I use the Porsche's agility, acceleration, and braking to put as much distance between me and other drivers (especially clumps of cars and particularly trucks) as is reasonably possible on the interstate.
So far it is working out, although one wreck happened next to me recently with nowhere for me to go. Thankfully the truck involved did see me and was kind enough not to run my a$$ over in an effort to avoid hitting another truck. A large piece of debris (?hood) flew right over the top of my car, but not a scratch. Both trucks totaled less than 2 feet away.

We always use our lights no matter how
Short the trip.
Boxster is Silver. Dealer from whom
We purchased it from told me about it
Being a color that's hard to see.

If we are on the interstate or turnpike
We also use the fog lamps.
That being said I was coming back
From a meeting yesterday afternoon
On the turnpike and got pulled over.
Reason being officer thought there was a problem
With back lights. With the rear fog lamps
On only the right lamp acts as a fog lamp
Vs both lamps. No ticket. Complemented
Me on the car.

I used to tell people about that color all the time and they don't believe me. but owning a silver car and having people make lane changes when they should have seen me tells me differently.
