I was hit on my motorcycle by a guy taking a left way too fast, and cutting the corner. I honked (and that motorcycle had a loud horn) and he said he heard me, but didn't see me. As I was picking myself up off the ground and checking to see if I had any significant injuries, he walked up to me and said he didn't see me. Mind you, his driver's side mirror hit me in the head, so I was almost right in front of him.....
That had absolutely nothing to do with the design of the car but the drivers reckless driving!
