See, the way I look at it, it is by the fact you can't see around themm
you are too close. There is a point that you will either be able to see
around them, or have enough room that you dont' need so much forewarning
cause you have plenty of space if they suddenly stop.
And no, this isn't from the view of some one who doesn't know what it's
like, I've driven a little Porsche where most cars block my view for 6
years. And if I were to go for safety, I'd pick my little Porsche with bad
view over my SUV. Having a far viewpoint only goes so far to help. Being
able to stop quickly or swerve out fo the way helps in a lot more
situations than just having a good view would.
