X'ed, I can't speak for our brother Xfire owner, but generally, I think driving tests for everyone, new and transferring drivers need to be much harder. There are too many instances to mention, but locally I notice we have a large immigrant population and many of them clearly have little to no understand of the rules of the road and just plain old common sense (stopping in the middle of an exit ramp and backing up 'cause it's not the exit they wanted)...it's not just those folks but everyone...give me harder tests or give me dent removers!

 

It would be nice if harder driving tests were the answer, but until you remove the human factor bonehead errors in judgment will continue to exist. Regarding the issue with the blind spot, I really don't see what all the fuss is about. The Crossfire doesn't have any worse of a blind spot issue then some many of my previous cars and pickups with shells, nor for that matter many of the SUVs on the market today. I too seldom use my rear view mirror, but I do use my side mirrors extensively. I guess that comes from pulling trailers and boats. Oh by the way my first car was a '70 Camaro I bought when I was 14 with money from my paper route, my mother had to drive it home since I didn't get my license until I turned 15.
