Most scary incident I've ever had was while stationary at red traffic lights.

I was driven off the road by a truck (foreign) pulling over and partly went down an embankment. Now that was scary which is why I now have train horns.

Mine was in my SJ when I got run off the road part way down an embankment by a foreign artic. It's why I have train horns.

Is there an echo in here? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Another plus is that the idiots who cut you up all the time or overtake you on the inside when you're changing lanes if you're driving a 2 ton 110 that can swipe their tinny little hatch into the weeds or simply drive over it and never notice seem to behave themselves when faced with a Jimny.

I might have misunderstood but I find I don't get the respect when I am in the Jimny. In fact in my SJ when I had it I had two dangerous close calls. Whereas in a bigger motor there is respect. :whistle: Plus, the bigger Discovery types etc. tend to use bully tactics - I definitely feel insecure in the little Jimny.

we never have any respect problems on the road - may be something to do with the roll cage steel bumper and the dents and scratches down the sides :laugh:
