There should be many times per journey when you need to see through
the car in front to make a judgement on what the cars in front of that
are doing. So obvious I find the need to explain it her horrifying.
Are you really that bad a driver?
No, actually, I've never had occasion to do this, either. I leave a safe
following distance and keep an eye on their tail lights instead.
Of course, but much more importantly they are eliminating their own
rearward visibility. Of course you shouldn't fill your car with
luggage above the level of the rear window. How could anybody argue
otherwise?
The fact that they don't own a truck, and have to carry something large?
Life ain't always perfect, dude.
they drive a pickup with a cap, they're restricting your visibility. If they
humanity!
Of course driving behind a flat-backed vehicle with no window
restricts your visibility. That is why you need to leave a much larger
gap when following such a vehicle. Hasn't anybody ever taught you
that?
Of course. Although, apparently, unlike you I tend to leave a safe following
distance between myself and the car in front of me. I can't usually see
through the windows of the car in front of me anyway, because here in
Central Maine, we tend to have teenage drivers with three passengers that
all look like them, cars with their trunks half-open and bungee-corded,
hills that stretch upward and downward for hundreds of feet, and more
trucks, vans, and SUVs than you can shake a stick at.
I'll leave you to your misconceptions. Just promise me if you're ever in
Central Maine following a silver Loyale or a red Legacy you'll back far
enough off where you don't have to look through my windows to see what's
going on.
