I have been wondering if you were driving with your headlights on?? Odds are that you were not.

I encourage everyone to do that simple thing. It certainly increases the odds that some nit-wit will notice that there is another vehicle in town!

We have a car that is lower than the average but headlights will show up real good. The HID lights take hardly any amps to keep on.

Everyone... Please... drive lighted and live!

I have to agree with Keith here regarding staying lit at all times. After re-living the accident that took my '93 to the salvage yard a thousand times, at least, it's the only thing I could come up with that might have made a difference. The other driver said she "didn't see me" and turned directly in front of me, approaching at 45-50mph. We stay "lit" at all times now. I can also speak personally again to the safety virtues of the SVX, after walking away from said collision with only minor injuries. I'm glad you and your GF survived as well!!!
