Here you go!

I don't use it regularly, but it is fun hitting the paddle shifter on the GK when passing cars. Or drop it in Sport mode works too.

Mirrors adjusted out is what I was taught (my Dad told me that it was a rare car with a back that didn't follow its front), and it definitely minimizes or outright eliminates blind spots. My wife, though, is set in her way, and she puts on a lot more miles than I do these days. I like the idea of the Honda Sense lane change camera, but I'm not sure how well I'll take to it in practice because I think the main thing is to be situationally aware at all times, not just when making a move.

I too like to pass with authority, for my own safety. And, I think with a smaller-than-average car like the Fit, bright colors are a sensible choice for visibility.

Given a choice between diving for a known hole or braking, I'd go for the known hole, but if I've been daydreaming (it happens to the best of us) then I'd brake and count on the truck's speed carrying it past me.

Lane Keep Assist should be renamed Turn Signal On or Rumble Strip.

What do you guys do in situations similar to this? I always seem to panic and swerve into the other lane beside me, praying that no one is there. Thankfully, every single time this happens to me, I don't hit anyone.
So this Van Mom doesn’t check her blind spot, comes right at me. It had just began to rain so the ground was slick. Luckily we had just hit a spot where I had an open turn lane only I pulled way hard left and slick roads I was I would’ve gone into oncoming traffic. I quickly cut it hard back right to correct only now I’m driftin’ squeeling tires. Finally the bitch makes I contact and as I’m giving her an evil stare and I can read it in her eyes, she like “Why the hell is this white boy trying to be all like vin diesel in the turn Lane!” My stare got to her though because she slowed to let me back in remembering that she didn’t remember probably the few miles of driving.
