Did you sit at the stop sign and look past the parked cars to see how far up you could see the middle of, not the left tire, track, part of the lane? You can be right, and still get hurt. I Pulled out from a stop, nearly hit a guy. I followed him home. I apologized, calmed him down and asked if that had happened before. Yeah, happens all the time, right there... and cussed the ignorant cagers. Then I pointed out that he was close to the curb and there were plants blocking the drivers view. He could see the front of the cars,,, but the drivers couldn't see him, till they started pulling out. If I wonder if I'm seen, I'm gonna Do something, I'll change lane position, flick high beams.. It doesn't matter if they Should have seen me. I'm determined to be seen. If that happened to me I'd have to go sit at that stop sign with my head where a drivers head would be, stopped behind the line, height as close to the same. Consider where the cars were. What would have they seen if your headlight had been two feet from centerline? Figure the angles, That's where people look, down the line, looking for a bumper.
