>Thicker pillars are not a bad thing. Visibility is not appreciably limited by them either.
One Hundred Percent inaccurate. I can't see shit out of my 2014 crossover when turning to check blindspots, compared to my 90s trucks and cars I've driven. Hell, backup cameras are mandated on all new cars in the US (they are very useful, but it's also because you can't see out of your own car).
>By that token motorcycles would teach you a healthy fear of operating without a chassis, and thus a safer vehicle?
I think driving a motorcycle creates safer drivers, absolutely. I take the stance when driving, turning, merging, etc. that at any moment, any car near me is going to do something stupid. Either not see my lane-change signal, or cross the stop-sign despite it being my turn, etc.
Every person who has proactively described that level of defensive driving (that I have talked to in conversation) had at one point or another been a motorcycle rider.
- jedberg 5y ago> I can't see shit out of my 2014 crossover when turning to check blindspots I learned to adjust my blind spot to be two lanes over so that I can see anything next to me in my mirrors. Checking my blindspot means looking directly out the window so that pillars don't get in the way. It's similar to how trucks do it, since they can't see out the back. Something you may want to look into -- adjusting your blind spot so you don't have to look at your pillar.
