TBF, the A-pillar problem is not exclusive to big trucks.

I drive a small BMW 2 series (M240i, not the M235i-based-on-mini-abomination).

I have seen entire civilizations disappear in my A-pillar. I need to look around it like an owl moves its head.

I had someone on a one-wheel approach an intersection at the same speed as me and stay hidden behind my 3" wide A-pillar the entire time.

Interesting intersection that had this problem (now fixed).
