You know what I find amazing? The number people out there who think they are good drivers when they aren't. Sure, you may be able to adjust to driving with these A-Pillars. But, I very much doubt you will develop the clairvoyant skills needed to pick those objects that disappear behind the A-Pillar while cranking your head and darting your eyes everywhere else to see around these pillars. A good driver does not rely on mirrors. A good driver has a better idea of what is around them by looking forward, backward and side to side as well as uing mirrors. They actually teach you not to rely on your mirrors. Only bad or inexperienced drivers rely on mirrors. To say that you're a bad driver because of a huge blind spot is not only foolish and uneducated, it just goes to show the absurd levels of loyalty some people will go to. Race car drivers have huge blind spots and quite often bump into each other because of these blind spots. Are they bad drivers? Do they tack on extra mirrors? I'm sure anyone would agree they have more skills than anyone here.
Now, for just a second lets say you, scotty - the greatest driver in the world with all your mirrors perfectly adjusted, collects a pedestrian in VE. Even though you've adjusted to these pillars you looked left for just a moment and checked all your mirrors while a pedestrian on the right walked into the blind spot. How are you supposed to predict that? You can't! More importantly, how are you going to feel when you collect that person?? Think about it realistically, don't just accept a poor design compromise. And, I’ll bet if this ever happened to you, you would scream loudly that the A-pillars were at fault.
