If a car *is* going to pull out in front of you...

[Annabella]

What type of car would you rather it was?

On my way into work this morning (running late, and for once, it wasn't my fault) I was bimbling along the road towards the motorway when I noticed a car coming up towards a junction on my left hand side.
It stopped, then started to roll forwards.

In that split second I thought: "Actually, I quite fancy my chances against that thing"
It was one of these

Low, and I imagine, made entirely of nice soft, biker-friendly plastic.


Fortunately, it did eventually spot me and stop. However, it got me thinking, if you are going to T-bone a car, what would you rather it be?

Citreon 2CV probably.

Or something made from marshmallow.

So a french car.

A very low sports car, preferably a soft top, you hit it you play superman and fly over the car and then meet tarmac and are glad you are wearing full gear.

one with a good pedestrian rating as i suspect being on a bike probably isn't much different.

low sports cars surely mean broken legs?

[chris-red]

I had one of those pull a u turn from the other side of the road in from of me I twas one of my closest missed, I got of there bike and a chubby bloke was in the car still gripping the steering wheel I just let loose a torrent of abuse and treats and was scream my head off, I then walked away about to get on the bike when i realised I wasn;t finished. I went back other to him and said quite calmly "Oh yeah, by the way mate only benders drive smart cars"


I would like it to be and Aston or a Ferrari or something exotic for 3 reasons.

You will go over it not into it so more chances of being ok, the driver is far more likely to have insurance, and the story factor and pictures would be brilliant, yep it was me who made that bike shaped dent in the DB9.

I'd rather it was a car that I could see rather than these stealth cars that pull out on people nowadays.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

If it was a soft top there might be a chance of landing in the car and spin kicking the driver (and any passengers) in the head.

i suppose if i knew i was`nt going to survive .... i would like to be going VERY fast and plough into the drivers side door of a drug dealer

if i knew i was going to still be in one piece then i want it to be a very expensive car

In a very selfish way, if someone's going to pull out on me and cause me pain, I'd want it to be a car where they'll end up hurt too. Maybe then they'll pay more attention next time.

I doubt one of these would put up much of a fight:

My mate just bought one as his first car and it's almost scary how little there is of it.

Old model Fiesta or a 2CV. I have extensive experience in hand to hand combat with both.
