It's not invisible, they get drawn to the Scorpio's beauty 
You do get some nowadays, like the people who wait until you're almost level before they pull out of a side street in front and the ones who do the same at roundabouts and poodle around the entire thing in the outside lane...
Thinking about fitting a plasma cannon and a propeller to mine for the unavoidable tailbacks on the A12, I will try the stealth thing though, would be handy for that occasional 3 Series driver behind

As Bruce says.....maybe people aren't used to seeing things of such beauty or such ugliness (all in the eye of the beholder)
They just assume it's an hallucination/trick of the mind

Yes.
I can verify the fact that the headlights help.
In Finland it is mandatory to use headlights, even though it won't
get dark at all in the midsummer. But it's a proven fact that it really
helps.
Trust me, I live here

Hi there Big-Neil
what colour is your car, I had a yellow Ford Cortina estate once and nobody could see that.
I got rid of it eventually because people kept driving into it 
you'd think yellow would stand out.

I'd just love......just ONCE........ to be able to jump out of my car, and say to the previously ignorant smirking ass-hole lying under the front axle in a pool of blood, sh*t and snot........."Sorry mate, I didn't see you either", when they walk out in front of you quite deliberately looking the other way!!
