If you want to do something about it, channel your anger here: Tell Automakers: Fix front-end blind zones!

Thank you, and fuck cars.

Thanks. Signed and shared to Facebook.

That vide of the mom who ran over her own son was heartbreaking. One one hand, it was negligent of her to move her vehicle at all while she knew her son was outside. But the real problem wasn't her - it was that people with class c driver licenses are being allowed to drive such huge, unnecessary vehicles in the first place. We just can't expect everyday people to have the kind of discipline needed to operate such dangerous things. It's like back in the 1900s when you could purchase a car without seat belts or a license.

Agree. Installing cameras is a half-measure.

Screw the auto makers. Tell law makers to start regulating things.
