Hopefully you survive the first time somebody looks directly at you, and you realize the other person doesn't see you.
I hate tinted windows, because I really like to get eye to eye connection.. the one thing that saved me down here when a woman pulled out in front of me. I watched for her eyes, and not only did I not see her eyes, she never turned her head in my direction.. before she pulled out in front of me I had slowed to maybe 20 - 25, so when she did pull out, I slammed on the brakes, and stopped about 3 feet short.

Did I tell you how much I hate tinted windows?

That and watching the tires.. are they rolling? Which way are they turning?
