World of Suck

. . . maybe your damned vehicle is too big!

My mother walks at night. She carries a flashlight (granted it probably should be brighter) to increase her visibility to cars. The other night she had to jump on the grass and a vehicle still almost hit her - The vehicle came on the grass as it went around the corner. My mother knew which driveway the vehicle turned into, so my mother called the lady to see if it was her or one of her children driving. It was the lady herself who had just gotten home and she said she never saw my mother. She said she had a blind spot.

Here's the deal - the lady is about 5' 4" and the vehicle is a large SUV. The "blind spot" is because the vehicle is too damn big! It is no one's fault but the lady's if she hits someone - it isn't the vehicle manufacturer for leaving a "blind spot", it isn't someone walking on the side of the road. Point is - if you have that big a blind spot, drive more carefully to compensate OR sell the damn thing and get something more your size!
