As a pedestrian I follow the laws of gross tonnage. A car or truck or even a bicycle will usually knock down a pedestrian.
As a former motorcyclist I know what is like to not be seen.
As a former bicyclist I know what its like to get sideswiped.
As an automobile operator I too, have avoided accidents with pedestrians, M/C’s, bicyclists, skaters, bigwheelers... who seemingly came out of nowhere! And who themselves, were not followers of the laws of gross tonnage.
I ran into a movable sign in a curved entrance to a casino. I was slowly driving into the valet area and turning slight left. The sign was hidden by the left door post. I never saw it till I smashed it to pieces.
Maybe it’s because I don’t like all these high ground clearance vehicles and think current automotive Pickup truck SUV Design Eng are Idiots. My feeling to start, is that there currently is NO Ergonomics used in any of the any of the Designs. Given that distrust, I think a new Mattock episode could be developing. sigh, ....
