Turning around to look backing up isn’t exactly easy after a two-level cervical spine fusion! :smack: (Courtesy of a 2005 drunk driver) I’m only going to point this out because I’ve seen you make a number of similar threads on topics like these, but your previous posts didn’t give this impression, like the one [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16301403&postcount=3). Your situation may not be favorable or ideal, but your habits _are_ increasing the chances of causing a crash, which now endangers others. But this behavior seems to be consistent elsewhere, too. _From a similar thread on blind spot monitors:_ > [@Auto "Safety" Technolgy is getting out of hand....](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/auto-safety-technolgy-is-getting-out-of-hand/660009/1): > > The only time I find it annoying is when I’m stuck behind slow drivers in both lanes and have to squeeze in and out of tight spots so I can get behind them and shine my Xenon headlights into their mirror to make them move out of the left lane or to be able to fly around them…it’s amazing how well a 4500lb Full-size Crossover/SUV will squeeze in between cars and zip in and out of traffic…that’s why I bought it!
