A recent letter here objected to the aesthetics of the new vehicle inspection stickers. I have another, bigger, objection: the new location — lower left corner of windshield — blocks the driver’s view in an important area.
It is bad enough to have a blind spot due to the windshield frame. This adds more blindness just where you might catch a glimpse of, say, a child running into the road from the left.
This may not be an issue for taller drivers, but is for shorter drivers. Block the human’s view in order to fix the view for robot cameras that some cars now have in the mirror? What’s next, ban human drivers?
I urge the regulators to move the sticker again, to a safe spot — upper left, or on the passenger side.
