When you first started...

Yeah, there are blind spots with the seats up. I end up putting them up and leaving them up for a week, so those don't bother me. But honestly, the blind spot I've had the most trouble with is the one directly to my left and right on the window pillars! I have a hard time seeing pedestrians unless I physically shift forward or back or side to side to see if anyone's there.

One day I was on the street approaching a trail crossing. A police car was coming towards me. Two pedestrians were already in the crossing when we approached, and I let them by and started to go...but then I saw police car's blue lights come on and my husband said, WAIT! There were two MORE peds walking up to the crosswalk and beginning to cross and I never saw them the whole time I was slowing down or stopped. That's how wide that blind spot behind the pillar is. I'm training myself to check, but I don't always know precisely when I should. Luckily the cop did not think it was a big enough infraction to stop me for--and I was so far away from the crosswalk I would have seen them in time to stop.

eta: Yes, Tango Red Pearl. It's looking shiny there because it had been raining. I don't usually keep it spit shined, but when I do clean it, something about the paint, etc., makes it extra sparkly.
