Not in a close radius to the hood. Think about the extreme example of a semitruck which undoubtedly can see far far ahead, but imagine now that you are taking a right turn at a light.
I would disagree that its limited to children as a quick look right and then left might mean that much less of the person is visible and could possibly not catch your eye as you drive forward.

- SkyPuncher 7y ago> Not in a close radius to the hood. How many accident actually stem from this. Even your own disclaimer has nothing to do with hood radius. That car that almost hit you was well out of "hood range" when he started to turn. Likely, it was either a failure to check the corner or you where in his A-pillar blindspot. Every single car in the world has an A-pillar blindspot. In my experience, the A-pillar blindspot is worse on smaller cars because it's closer to the driver and blocks more of his/her vision.

Also, children are important too and if one gets in front of you pulling up on a driveway using a modern SUV could be a recipe for disaster. https://www.wardsauto.com/news-analysis/new-pillars-enhance-safety-impede-visibility https://www.wardsauto.com/news-analysis/new-pillars-enhance-...
