Thick A pillars might be one of your bugbear with modern cars, they're thick for number of reasons. It's not that hard to look around the A-pillar, just move your body and head. Also vans usually can't get completely obscured by the A-pillar, unless you were in a queue and the van was further away. I guess you scold the person after you returned the car you borrowed because the A-pillars are too thick?

@davem9204 I realize that was the point made in the video, but still, it's not hard for drivers to look around the A-pillar. So most drivers do look to the right (or left in the UK) looking for moving vehicles and pedestrians, but too lazy to look around the A-pillar.

It's funny how people complain about drivers being impatient, but don't mind when people outside their vehicles are being impatient. I swear that people forget that some people are very short-tempered, most people who are short-tempered were short-tempered since they were children.

"I always assume that everyone else is an idiot" Even if they're good and sensible drivers. Do you also assume that train conductors are idiots because they have priority at level crossings? You also assume that all pedestrians are idiots because they have priority at pedestrian crossing? How would you feel if other drivers and pedestrians start assume that you're an idiot?

@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 I bet the driving instructor also call his children for idiots.

@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 You know that other drivers may also assume that you're an idiot. If you approach a level crossing, would you also assume that train conductors are idiots because they have priority at level crossings? You also assume that all pedestrians are idiots because they have priority at pedestrian crossing? Everyone are idiots according to you.

@Brandon-ff9my If you approach an activated level crossing, do you also just assume that train train conductors are idiots? If you approach a pedestrian crossing,, do you just assume that all pedestrians are idiots. If drivers can assume everyone that uses or are near the road are idiots, then I can assume that all drivers are idiots.

@Brandon-ff9my It's funny how people assume people are idiots, but other drivers or pedestrians call them idiots, yet get mad and starts a road rage.

@Brandon-ff9my Well people never say "if you get angry on foot, you shouldn't be walking in public. I don't get why people think drivers shouldn't get angry, but pedestrian can? Also you know that some people are very short-tempered. People who are short-tempered were short-tempered since they were children. It's also funny how peoples say "if you get angry behind the wheel to that degree you shouldn't be driving" and yet they're the same people also get angry on occasions
