My hood is nowhere near 6 feet, and my blind spots are no worse than a regular car. Are you picturing me in an 18-wheeler?

- scrose 6y agoNo, I don't know the exact dimensions of your truck and I am not picturing you in an 18-wheeler. It's well known that the F150, as well as many other SUVs and light trucks have massive blind spots that prevent kids, disabled people, and just generally anyone shorter than 5' from being seen and ultimately have been responsible for many unnecessary deaths and injuries in the US. Here's a video demonstrating frontal blind zones for several cars/trucks: https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/14/21065319/suv-truck-front-blindspot-children-injury-death-wthr-13 https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/14/21065319/suv-truck-front-...
- beervirus 6y agoOh, I see what you're talking about. "Blind spot" usually refers to something on the sides of the vehicle that isn't visible in the side view mirror. You're talking about something in the front/back.
