    What a load of tosh, I bet half of you don't check all round your cars before you get in and drive away, but you give the OP a hard time: MUPPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So you'd advocate driving a vehicle in a direction that you can't see fully, without checking first would you?

    Yet another good reason why people should not drive large vehicles like people carriers,4x4 etc ( some shouldn't drive at all )

    Corrected that for you there, you little trolling rascal ;)

    I tend to have a quick check round my car before I get in and drive off - it's what I was taught to do by my instructor and has become habit. (And if it's a really tight space I know exactly how much space I have then!)

    ~What's with all the 'what if's' the OP didnt hit a pedestrian, didn't hit a child,

    OP, you werent hurt, your pocket may be, but you did the right thing,
    I wonder how many of the posters actually drive away and not give it a second thought, luckily every time they have done it, there has been nothing there to 'not see' So it hasnt occurred to them.

    Stones and glass houses, so just let things take their course.
    Good luck, shoite happens, just be positive, you cant do anything about it.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I do when I'm driving the small van because I can't see out of the back very well.

    My mid-size (Almera Tino) mpv has a handy camera and screen - which is mucho handy - so long as you don't get distracted, and realise it's only showing you what the mirrors and rear windscreen don't - so you still need to use them.

    On the plus side, does make fitting into a gap a lot easier.
