Quite a few years ago a friend of mine had an Opel GT (a Miata sized car). Anyway he had an incident in downtown where a Semi driver pulling up close behind him and not seeing him over the hood thought he'd pulled around the corner. When the truck pulled up to the intersection it pushed my friend out into traffic (no accident from oncoming traffic). He had to circle around the block to keep from being hit by traffic and then chase the driver down, who not only claims he didn't see the bright yellow sports car but didn't feel hitting it. Just food for thought.
The problem is scale of mixed vehicles, with pickups and semi trucks not going away any time soon. Be careful out there.
