RE: Blind spot

I dont mean to be rude people, but if you know it causes a blind spot then double check before you pull out. Many cars have blindspots to varying degrees, you just need to learn where it is and drive accordingly.

RE: Blind spot

I don't seem to experience this problem. Unless they are little people.

But I am 6ft 4 so the top of the mirrors are well below general sight on either side. That's with the seat as low as it goes also.

Although yes, once you learn a cars blind spots, you should really be training yourself to always expect something to be there

No offense taken, but it does take time for drivers to realize the issue. Especially when its a new car. Thumbs Up

I'm 5' 8" about average for a male. So i could argue that you are a giant compared to the ROW.

Average height around the world

Yes this also worked for me, I'm 5ft 7", also having the seat back a little more upright than one might have in a boy racer BMW helps

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
