Hello Friends :) My uncle having the big car. And I am using it many times. But not the all times. Just few days ago i went for a long tour of 400 km with my small car. And I have noticed it many times that some big cars like trucks and buses don't respect this small cars. I mean even there is no space for overtaking they go for it when they saw small cars ahead. I have experienced the same. I have to use break when one Luxury Bus was overtaking from the front. Its like he was ignoring me and my car !!! How can he?? ha ha.. I have to speed down my car and take my car to off road because of that. I guess I have to go for BIG CAR. May be A plane on ROAD.. Then everybody will respect me. Have you gone through such experience ? I am sure it is the normal everywhere.. Or what you think about it ?

No sweetie. See, it work like this. If you cannot go pass them, you can always go underneath them. You won't ever be late for anything then.

That's a good thing. In fact I am already following it during the night driving. But what about day driving. and what if that big car is too slower than us !!! You can't always follow this thing.

Well, I didn't know that trucks and buses fall under the category of cars!! However, I feel you must be contented with what you have. I do not own a car even! You are no doubt better than people like me. All that matters is who accompanies you or the way you drive. May be listening to some romantic songs while driving in the evening in your 'small' car would give you the same pleasure that you expect while driving the 'Big' cars.

hi akp here in Southern California there is a current craze for these huge SUVs and some drivers are really careless. Now we watched my friend and I as we were stuck at a red light. this woman driver driving a really over sized SUV turned just as a young man started across on a green walk light pushing his bike in front of him. Oh my G she hit him so hard he was flung up into the air. He came down, walked his bike to the sidewalk and collapsed there, We sat there in horror watching as we waited for the green light. we never did know how badly hurt he was. but she really hit him and it was dusk and she had not put her headlights on. I think she did not even see him.Oh I do so hate these careless drivers in their tanks of cars so huge and they drive rather insolently too which does not help.

Ohh.. that's too sad .. They should not drive carelessly as they having big cars. I have faced the same thing on highways here. Mostly buses and trucks(not all) drives carelessly as they having big cars. And they surely not care about those mini cars.

I am going the opposite way. I'm thinking of getting a smaller car. I have a Dodge Caravan, and I'm sick of paying high gas prices for it. I want something smaller. Something that would just sit my family. I figure, if I have to do a long drive on a highway, and I need a bigger vehicle, I'll just rent one.

That's the proper way too.. I am not saying that small car are bad.. I am having small car and I am quite happy with it too. I had just started this discussion with frustration that how big buses just ignores the small cars on highway. That's it. During traffic and in city areas small cars are more comfortable than the big ones.

I have been driving bigger cars/trucks for several years, and the funny thing is that if I ever drive my boyfriends small car I feel odd, as if I was sitting on the ground. I have been so use to driving bigger trucks for so long that I could not adjust to a small one again. Although I am usually the only one in my truck I find it very comfy to drive. The only thing to remember is that the bigger the vehicle the more expensive to maintain. The petrol alone is steep to maintain. Unlike a small vehicle which at times has better mileage per gallon. I am not sure if most respect me more due to my big vehicle, but surely when they need a comfy ride they usually call me first.

Ohhhh you want to drive the big rigs. Well that would get you a lot of respect as the small ones will look like ants.

I am not talking like that.. I mean the big cars like bus don't respect the small car on the highways.. That's why I want a big car too so those big cars can respect me.. Mine small car doesn't get much more attention. But yes big cars are good in comfortable. And also driving in big cars with group is more good.

Hello AKP, Even though if you buy a big car then too these trucks and buses won't respect you because big cars are smaller than these. I also experience it many times when i go through GT road as this road is narrow i have to give respect to these trucks and buses and have to go down the road sometimes but then i think this is not the respect this is safety as these truck drivers don't run vehicals safely.
@akp100 (13640)

Well surely we break down for our safety.. But what about truck and buses.. They never respect the cars or two wheelers. They drive like that the road is their property.

True.. Its surely not okay. That's why I am demanding about big car. I know even then they will not respect as car will be not that much big but still big car is good for safety then the smaller one.

Because they know even if they hit smaller vehicals they won't be hurt else the driver of smaller vehical will be hurt. Secondly they know people will smaller vehical automatically give them the way to overtake them.

I definitely do not respect small cars. Small cars are for ladies. And one more thing, when a big truck or a big car passes near you, you feel so puny ! They just crash you with force !

I guess that is true. Big cars overtakes small cars. they don't respect those who drive in small cars. I think that it's like that anywhere. Well, all I can say is, at least you have a car. Don't mind them. But if you really like to have a big car, then save some money. If you've save enough, then you can buy a big car.

He he.. I wish i can have a big car.. About over taking.. Its okay if any big car over takes me.. But I am talking other thing. I mean when they over takes any car they just ignores that small car is coming infront of them. Even gap is too small they liked to over take by ignoring the coming small car.

You're right. That's what they usually do. I guess they just don't mind about the gap, even though it is small.

Hi Khare Ha ha... don't worry I will not tap my car I will tap those buses and trucks who comes in front of my mini car.. Actually Even I am happy with my small car. And big cars are quite hard to handle in city too. I am just telling this because I noticed that some truck or buses don't give respect small cars on highways. So I want to drive bigger car than those trucks and buses.. Then I would see whether they give me respect or not.

oh yes i too have noticed the same that truck drivers think that they have the mastery to drive whatever way they wish too and whatever comes in there way has to go off.they hardly give sides for small vehicles to pass by.

I think you should not get a big car. They are expensive to buy. They are expensive to run, the fuel will be used up more quickly. Even maintenace, repairs and parts will be more expensive.

Yes all are true.. That's why I am having small car with good mileage. I don't want to increase my costing. I was just telling generally. I mean on highways small cars don't get much respect in compare of big cars... But yes small cars having their own benefits.

Well!!!! big car means big money.....and more expenses . If that is no problem for you then surely you can buy a big car or even aeroplane . You are right, big trucks are scary and bus drivers are over confident. Someone told me that in USA, there are different roads for small cars and for big trucks and buses. I think that is the best idea. Hope the whole world will accept this idea so that cars and trucks or buses will never clash into each other and we can really enjoy safe driving.Nice discussion. Have a nice day.

No no. I am happy with my small car too. And yes can't afford big car now also. I was just telling that because of those bug buses and trucks. Yes that idea is good that having two different roads for big cars and small cars. I wish in my country we can have such roads. That would be really great and safe driving then.

I like the one from Honda, the Honda CRV. It's not very big, but big enough for my needs. If my car is too big then I will get trouble when it comes to parking it, I'm not one of the parking experts girl.

I agree parking problems in cities is a big problem. And yes with big cars it will be increase more. But yes honda CRV is great car. Not so big and not small too. Even I liked that car.

I think so just like what you said it is often happened,because the bus or truck driver think that you block his way maybe,but by the way ,i think you should let it go,because on the road is dangers,so whether the big car ignoring your car or not,you should let he through,it is not play bumper car in play ground.my friend,be careful!

I know that I always drive very carefully during this. Well I never plays on road. But what about when a big car comes from the front by take over the other cars and comes on our side of road in front of us. We have to slow down our car because of their faults because they just ignores the small car.

Yes I have experienced it, but with my motorbike. I used to drive on the road when some boastful truck drivers used to overtake on shoulder. It is really annoying someone do that to you. Haven't they know the risk that they are doing? it's a bit scary someone do that to you right?
@akp100 (13640)

I agree !! That's why better be safe. And specially when we are driving on two wheelers. Its too risky on highways. They should surely understand the risk. And drive more carefully. Thanks for responding. Have a safe drive always and day.
