Comment The *forward* ones? Really? (Score 1) 74
I don't know if the forward blind zones are getting worse; those seem pretty similar to me. But I know absolutely for certain that the blind zones behind the vehicle are much, much larger and worse than they were 25 or 30 years ago. It's the difference between "maybe if a subcompact car matches my speed precisely and gets into exactly the wrong spot behind me in the next lane over, I won't be able to see it in my mirror" in the nineties, versus "Oh, there was an eighteen-wheeler passing another eighteen-wheeler back there, and an SUV was weaving around trying to get past them? How was I supposed to know, when it was all behind me?" The rear windows on a lot of cars these days, look like a portal on a ship's lower decks. It's absurd.
