i’d bet this whole fiasco is because women can’t drive.

This is why it’s important to slam your car to the ground so little kids are pushed out of the way instead of run over. Safety first is what I say

But when I drove it I felt super vulnerable for some reason and preferred to physically look where I was going. But it probably also had a lot to do with me not wanting to mess his super baller car up. Im sure if I had it on a car, Id grow to enjoy it

There are still times I physically look. Like at night in dark lots. Even with LED reverse lights, it’s poorly lit back there.

But for the most part, I use my camera.

It definitely depends on the driver.

My TL has a backup cam. The only thing I use it for is to get as close as possible in a parking spot. Other than that, I ALWAYS look
