Of course it would! That's the whole point.

People shouldn't enter the road until it's clear they've been seen.

I'm not sure what you're missing here guy.

I've said the A bar is a liability because of the blind spot it introduces.

Your response was that the person in the road has the right of way. This is known.

Somehow I give immigrants a bad name because I acknowledge that it is difficult to manage people who assert their right-of-way into blind spots.

It's called a blind spot for a reason. How can one yield to something they by definition don't see?

Well the onus is obviously on a driver to make sure they see what they need to see. And that they drive a vehicle that allows them to see things.

That doesn't mean the pedestrians should not be careful...

You chose to buy the car with the big blind spots. You’re responsible for checking your blind spots, by moving your head as necessary. This is part of the driving test.

Your poor consumer choices do not absolve you of your responsibilities and obligations.
