Component | VISIBILITY/WIPER |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The vehicle's side mirrors are placed so that they block visibility for a short person. I am just under 5'4" and when at a four way intersection, the mirrors directly block the view of where a car would be stopped to the left and to the right. I actually was involved in a minor collision where i did not see the other car stopped at the stop sign to my left although they claimed to be. Now i always need to move my head to get a clear view of the road area next to the the stop signs to the left and to the right. |
