| Description of the problem | This complaint is not limited to my current vehicle. I am 5' 3" tall. The part of the car's body that separates the windshield from the side windows in all vehicles i have driven creates a huge obstruction to my view. I almost struck a bicyclist coming from the left... He and the entire bike were blocked from my vision. When taking a left turn, the entire street can be obscured. This problem was even more severe in a 1995 jeep cherokee i owned. Also, why aren't mirrors that would eliminate the blind spot on the driver side mandatory? *kb |
