So i was backing out of a space this morning, some old lady in my blind spot was backing out at the exact same time... unfortunately though, i was in her blind spot as well (we were parked across from each other, over one car).

Our bumpers crunched, but thank god, they popped right back out, no damage at all... whew...

I need a backup camera :)

I have one in my Altima, it's pretty awesome for getting an even better idea of how close you are to something behind you.

You know, when backing up things come at you from behind.

You should really turn your head around so you can see out the back window of your car when driving in reverse.

If you know how to set up your mirrors, there is no such thing as a blind spot.

Technically, there is, but it is ~6 inches of space next to your car.

Moot point. You shouldn't be using your mirrors when backing up. You should be looking out the back window.

[Tyrone just backed into Franky Four Fingers' van]
Tyrone: I didn't see it there.
Vinny: It's a four ton truck, Tyrone. Its not as if it's a bag of f**king peanuts, is it?
Tyrone: It was a funny angle.
[All three turn and look back at the truck]
Vinny: It's behind you Tyrone. Whenever you reverse, things come from behind you.

Congratulations, you drive as terribly as some old lady. You don't need a back up camera, you just need to learn how to drive :p
