Consumer Description

MODERN VEHICLE DESIGN HAS INCREASED OCCUPANT SAFETY IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS COIN IS A DECREASED ABILITY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. BLIND SPOTS CAUSED BY HUGE WINDSHIELD POSTS AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS (INSIDE AND OUT), HEADRESTS POKING UP AND A SEAT BELTS THAT HOLD YOU IN POSITION TO LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD....ALL THESE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR CAR HITTING A GUY-WIRE FOR A POWER POLE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE "SCENE" AND THE GUY-WIRE AND WINDSHIELD POST ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ANGLE, THE GUY-WIRE NOT BEING IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED RIGHT NOW (TO THE TUNE OF $1250.00, JUST FOR A HEADLIGHT AND TUPPERWARE BUMPER COVER). IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE'D HAD THE SERVICES OF A NASCAR SPOTTER UP ON THE ROOF OF THE VFW! THERE.....I VENTED. *TR
