What REALLY grinds your gears?

that, and like in japan(? i could be wrong) where they have cameras in front and back recording all. i believe the concept is to better sort out insurance claims

and unless they have witnesses you can say you weren't backing out, you were just slowly and safely driving through the lot when he pulled out of a spot and hit you

Well when you have damage on your rear bumper and fender its hard to say its the other guys fault. Claims adjuster have heard every story in the books and they know how to look at the damages and see who is telling the truth. For example. When they see a dent and with the dent there a scractches they can tell the direction the car was traveling by those scratches.

I recently got a new car that has a backup camera and sensors, let me tell you these are some of the best things ever invented for a car. When you're backing up if another car comes along, the sensors go off. It also has blind spot sensors that are awesome on the highway. That way you know anytime a moron is riding in your blind spot. Stuff like this should be standard.

I find the sensors to be more usefully then the camera. The camera in my wife's car just confuses me, seems unnatural to look at the dash when backing up.

Mine is in the rearview mirror, perfect spot for it.

I can understand where looking down wouldn't be ideal.

Oh that is cool.

I tell you the best thing ever for backing up are the interior side mirrors in my 4Runner.

They really come in handy! Why most cars don't have them I have no idea. So simple and effective.

a car that def needs that is the chevy hhr. i was issued one as a rental while mine was being repaired. it was terrible. had to lean so far forward to get a good angle on the either side view mirror, the rear window is so small, had to turn my head a nearly a complete 180 every time i wanted to safely change lanes. not my cup of tea

I usually back into parking spots so I don't have to back out

This is the only rational way to park, anyone parking otherwise should immediately lose their license.

Then there would be far more parking spots. Job done!

I usually back into parking spots so I don't have to back outthat reminds me of something that grinds my gears, people who pull headfirst into a spot, the spot in front of them is vacant but they don't pull forward to take it, eliminating any need for reverse at all. do you ever see people do that? i'm all about the pull through bonus. i only back into spots anymore when i really have to due to poor a poor angle
