I'm lit up and night with strobes so bright Stevie Wonder could see me.

But Stevie Wonder will still get you with one of those wide head swerves.

Kind of like when I was a truck driver. I mean.... how can you not SEE something 12 1/2 feet tall, 8 1/2 feet wide and 75 feet long?

Yet, as a former truck driver, I know that there are places along side and to the rear AND front, that if you are in those spots you are pretty much hamburger cause the driver CAN'T see you - no matter how careful they are. To a much smaller extent, those blind spots apply to cars. I stay out of blind spots as much as possible.
