Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

You said yourself that you "intentionally mentioned SUV to attract the haters" and that you'll next say that you were driving a Prius.

So, which is it? Do you have an SUV (and, pray tell, WHY)? Or do you have a Prius? Or both?

And, in case you can't comprehend it, a Prius is very difficult to see through from behind because of how its rear window is laid out -- it mostly reflects the sky, which washes out anything that someone would be able to see through the car.

So, no, if there are pedestrians crossing or a sign prohibiting turning on red, drivers behind you won't be able to see them.

Unless, of course, they're in a bigger SUV... but then it just becomes another arms race, with people trying to buy taller and taller vehicles "so I can see better".
