window deflectors dangerous
I put some very nice Chrome Putco window deflectors on my 2011 f250. Didn't realize that they would create a blind spot. You can actually miss seeing a car on your left at a stop. See-through a must. Might just take them off.

This happens a lot. I have had a couple close calls because of it myself. The front pillar and mirror can create a perfect blind spot.
It's hard, but true, even the best of us get lulled into "autopilot" and drive mindlessly on occasion. It only takes one time.

I concur, you have to be very cognizant of small cars/motorcycles that are in close proximity to you.
