I mostly ride motorcycle. always super annoyed/amazed when I drive a car at how shit visibility is. Not only all the blind spots but also how low your vision is

  Low vision is not a problem when one actually knows how to properly drive. The problem is, tons of people don't (or don't know their cars well), and they compensate with buying SUVs although they hardly use them on terrain/situation that would require them. My bmw is already lowish as standard, and previous owner lowered it significantly, and being very low ain't a problem in the traffic at all. Generally SUVs are the worst mix of properties you want from cars - center of gravity is too high (bad handling), rolling in case of accident is much easier to achieve, too heavy so pretty bad acceleration, more expensive maintenance (ie tyres, more oil, heavier taxation in many places etc.), more consumption because of the weight and crappy aerodynamics etc. /end of SUV rant
