All these children are invisible to the driver…
Fuck all those cars!!! Put them away to hell, not to earth. They are too big for all - except for small egos. But for small egos is therapy much better.

The other day i saw a pickup truck trying to switch lane, they just put on the signal and attempted to switch, didn’t realise there’s a sedan just beside them. Dude couldn’t even see who’s honking them telling them not to switch.
That’s called failure to check your blind spot. I’ve driven a pickup for over a decade and never not been able to see when a vehicle is next to me if I physically turn and check my blind spot. Though we are promoting people becoming more lazy with this as most new cars just do this for you. In my newer work vehicle, the side mirrors have an orange indicator turn on when someone’s hanging in your blind spot.
If the car isn’t that big the blindspot wouldn’t be that terrible. You might be able to drive a tank without destroying any bush, but the issue here is other people who failed to do so.
Totally agree. My theory is that many drivers don’t register that a vehicle is present unless it’s the same size as the one they’re driving or bigger. I think that’s why so many people seem to be blind to motorcycles.
Properly sized and positioned mirrors can remove the blind spot on any vehicle.
If an 18 wheeler doesn’t have a (side) blind spot, I’m pretty sure an SUV doesn’t need one.
It still comes down to simple user error, not so much the vehicle. But, I won’t disturb the anti truck circlejerk.
Size itself is not the only problem. Even buses have smaller blind spots

Prime example. Lifted truck can’t see car next to it.
Not arguing with your concept but this is a bad example. The Corolla drifted into the truck not the other way around
The lift prevented “see and avoid”. No, it’s not the truck’s fault that the sedan drifted, but the concept is the same. The height prevents the truck from seeing a problem.
