[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a driver, I used to have this problem, but fyi one big reason that this is a problem is due to the driver. If you roll slowly through stop signs, or just roll slowly, you are often rolling at exactly the speed of the pedestrian in your blind spot crossing the street, so the pedestrian stays in the blind spot. So if you do a more crisp (short decelleration)+(full stop) and no inching along, it will really help.[/quote] This--at full stop, the peds will have time to take a step or two and you will see them. In parking lots, pulling through or backing in is much safer than backing out--when backing in, you only have to worry about the space you're backing into (and you can see it!) whereas when you're backing out, it's really hard to see who's behind you if there are other cars around. And yeah, all of the pillars in a car can impede visibility, but it's your job as the driver to stop and look.[/quote]
