No wonder they can’t see me in the inside lane!
I feel so small

The difference is that yours will get you home, the Rangerover most likely on the back of an AA truck.
Small cars should be considered a bit like riding a motorcycle, that is to say...
Always assume that the other guy does not see you!

They will hear your exhaust though

I have always done that no matter what I am driving. Maybe because I grew up on two wheels? Defensive driving beats aggressive driving every time IME.
I've noticed this very much, im often hidden behind parked cars approaching junctions with right of way, twice this year car have pulled out and been shocked to see me.
Driving even more defensively now..

I drive mine to work occasionally, but I park in the outer boondocks in a spot next to an "island" (concrete section separators). In that spot I park right up against the curb so that I'm skewed completely to one side of the spot with others only on one side of me. That cuts the risk in half and creates a double wide buffer zone on the one exposed side.
My biggest fear used to be that my adult son will pull too far forward in a parking spot that has a curb and the front and trash my spoiler. I worry less about that now than i did when he was younger.
I wholly agree Andrew but I keep looking at them
, i've always loved the previous RR sport and I'm due a change early next year. Heart versus wallet!!

Absolutely, keep looking at the T8 hybrid, wolf in sheep's clothing, lovely car ans I'm sure a damn sight more reliable, just not to so good to look at and quite sparse inside in comparisonVolvo XC90 mate
