Is there an option to install a fisheye mirror so people in the driveway can see perpendicularly down the street? https://www.reflectionproducts.com/images/Vie

  First, the point of these discussions is explicitly to stay within the lines. We all know there's a billion elaborations that you could make, but those are different problems. Worthy and interesting problems, even, but different problems. Second, there isn't always a great option for that, no.

    'Staying within the lines' is why game theory doesn't actually work as a good predictor of human behaviour.

      Not when applied without wisdom, but it's an excellent predictor of subsets of human behaviour, and a subset of those generalise well enough to satisfactorily explain existing phenomena. Simply because one has to be selective doesn't make it unworkable. It does make for misleading headlines, though.

      Simple laziness theory dictates that one should open a window and use a mirror on a telescoping pole (aka "inspection mirror") to better see around the snowdrift, and make liberal use of your vehicle's horn as you make your somewhat-less-than-blind turn. If you really want to cooperate, buy two, and sell one to your neighbor at cost. I really hate, hate, hate shoveling snow.

  Frozen ground, with an equal snowbank on the other side (it is a one way street, so you only care about one of the banks). If you had installed it in prior years, it'd probably be buried (the real life snow bank this is based on was approximately 6-7 feet tall).
