In 5 years I've 'almost' been in a dozen accidents because of this... from both sides.

I could...
I don't notice a blind spot while driving. Never noticed while parked. :shrug:

Buzz only took that pic because there's a naked woman behind the a-pillar.
Of course he missed that too...

What? You think "Dodge" and "Ram" weren't based on driver experience?
Some days you Dodge'em, other days you Ram them.

One time I almost changed lanes in my MDX, like a hard change to get around a guy who just stomped on the brakes to turn left. At the last second my spidey senses went off and I stayed put, barely. Then a Lamborghini something or other slowly revealed itself next to me, 10 inches below the bottom of my windows. That would have sucked.
There exists a timeline where I totaled a Lambo, left the scene of the accident, and am still hiding from the law.

Get some phone books. You’ll be fine.
The new fords have BSEC's (blind spot elimination cameras) where they post video on the A pillar of what is behind it. There is also a little orange dot which pops up if there is something there.

I put a plow on the front of my Ram just in case someone gets in my way :yesnod:

I am always amazed that as I approach an intersection in my truck, a car approaching from either left or right, can stay in the A pillar blind spot all the way to the intersection. There's some kind of wizardry about that. :funnier:

I have a 17 Ram 1500 and the blind spot isn't THAT big, but I'm not eye level with the dashboard and mirror. :)
