I actually wonder if there is a limit on the size of the A pillar in cars. The car I drive right now seems like it has a larger A pillar than the (super old) car I had before, presumably for safety. But it's almost caused me to get into several accidents as I am almost completely blind when slighting left. Just the other day I nearly hit a pedestrian who was crossing against the light. I slowed down for the turn but had the green light, and the pedestrian was crossing the street at just the right speed to stay in the blind spot of my driver's side A pillar. If I hadn't moved my head to double check, I would have run them over. I've never had this issue on any other car, but it's a big problem for me right now. So imagine that blocking a good section of your forward vision, and a helmet blocking anything to the sides... motorcycles have very small blind spots as the rider can swivel anywhere with no cage blocking them. Helmets are a minor contributor. But cars don't have that luxury.
