Someday I think nobody will know how to reverse their car without the aid of a backup camera.

When I bought that new car before I sold it I had a backup camera in it. While handy I just prefer using the mirrors as I always have done. The reason I sold that car was because that thing was a doom magnet. It was a nice car and drove well but I felt I attracted too much danger in it too many close calls from other drivers. Perhaps I am superstitious but I never had that much doom attract to my old car only the new one. I hope the new owner has better luck with it. I will stick with my old trusty.

I don't think I can drive a car without a backup camera. pedestrians seriously give zero fucks about their well being. even with using mirrors theres always something i pick up on the camera i couldn't see with the mirrors... but no definitely cant replace mirrors with only cameras

@tenente Very true about the pedestrians not caring especially in parking lots.

@tenente I did learn how to drive in a big city thankfully long long ago. One time in a grocery store parking lot this man and these two women were hanging back. I thought they were letting me go so I began to lurch forward only for them to start walking. I hit the brakes to let them pass but the man in the group stopped in front of my car with his chest all puffed up and began shouting at me trying to peacock in front of the women he was with. I said oh forget it and went to another grocery store because I didn't want to run into him inside.
