| Description of the problem | I noticed that when making a left turn the front view of where you are turning is block... Worse when making u turn.... Because the left side mirror blocks the entire view... I was lucky enough that my nephew advise me to be careful with the pedestrians as i immediately hit the brakes and the saw the upset pedestrian give me a dirty look. I have since been very careful when turning and i raise my head up to look over the blocking mirrors. I believe this is a structural issue that needs to be corrected. |
