| Description of the problem | Drivers view is largely obstructed (you could lose sight of a crowd of people) by the outside mirrors. This is an obvious danger to all pedesatrians crossing in front of this vehicle that is turning left. And also affects the view on the right side. I unfortunately experienced a low speed crash directly related to this issue. |
