> At no point do they just throw their arm on the backside of the passenger seat, and turn around to look out the windows while keeping one hand on the wheel. It is as if this movement, this posture, is completely new to them. As a point of reference, Adam and Jamie of Mythbuster fame both had to be trained in this technique. And they’ve probably been driving longer than many of us here have been alive. In other words, it’s a trained driving position. Some folks learned it early, some late, and others haven’t been trained in it yet. Also, it doesn’t work well in modern vehicles with shorter windows. This last week I couldn’t see the driveway I had to back down by looking out the back window. I could via the camera though.

If I remember right, didn't they have to be trained how to use this technique in a specific scenario that was effectively stung driving? If be really surprised if they couldn't back out of a parking dodge this way prior to training > Also, it doesn’t work well in modern vehicles with shorter windows This is largely by design. Intrusion protection has been prioritized over visibility with cameras filling in the gaps
