| Description of the problem | Sight lines - again. No one under aprox. 5'9" can safely operate this vehicle. I (at 5'7") can not see the front of the vehicle or determine where the front wheels are because of the poor driver position. The real danger happens at night at unlighted intersections. Turns are missed because the driver can't determine where the front wheels are. I know this doesn't sound dangerous, but mark my words, there are going multiple accidents caused by this vehicle's poor design. |
