There is angle parking along the street right up to parking lot
exits. If somebody puts a van or other large opaque object in
the space immediately upstream of your car or the exit from
your parking lot you can't see. From the opposite point of view,
if you're driving along the street a car may pop out in front of
you because the driver couldn't see. The r.a.d reaction would
be to make a gleeful call to your lawyer and say "a car pulled
out in front of me and I'm about to hit him and I want to sue
him for everything he's got." Personally, I hit the brakes.
No point in honking. There's nothing the other driver could do
differently.

You have 5, possibly 6 grammar/punctuation errors in three lines.
You are obviously a product of the failed American Public Education
system that has been so corrupted by the left wing as to be beyond
repair.

Oh, yeah, and you are a ****ing idiot, too.

Why point out one when you've got two to choose from?
In that sentence, "from" and "Canada" are both misspelled.

Bull****.
If you can't see, and "hit the gas", any resulting crash is your
fault.
Saying that such situations are unavoidable is utter crap. There aree
always choices, even if it means taking a different route.
Of course, pulling out slowly until you can see doesn't seem to be in
your repertoire. This would let others see you as you pulled out
slowly, giving them time to either honk or avoid your car. Simply
"hitting the gas" is an extremely dangerous thing to do in such a
situation.

So what?

The "choice" is to abandon my car in a place where it will
shortly be illegally parked.

With automatics you can start moving merely by lifting the brake.
I have a manual transmission and I hit the gas when I start my
car moving to ensure I don't stall.

Unfortunately, Mr Carr is not alone out there. In Bucks Co., PA there is
an intersection that was notorious for it's limited visibilty, Paist Rd &
SR 313. The locals avoided coming out of Paist Rd at the one end as you
couldn't see more than 50 feet to your right and the SL is 45 at that
point. There was a highschool kid who knew better but attempted it and
paid with his life. The solution that PennDOT put in place was to Do Not
Enter signs at the Paist Rd part of the intersection, even though it a
two-way street.

Do the math, how fast is traffic going? How far will a vehicle travel
before it's driver even hits the brakes? 30 feet? 60 feet?

I'm sorry, but the style of driving that relies on prayer just will not
cut it. God gave you brains, use them and find a safe way to go. Lord,
knows I pray every day for a nice boring day on the road.

There's a missing apostrophe too, arguably 2 missing apostrophes in fact !

You lose me right there.
Your obvious desire to be seen as reckless makes you too boring to
read.

Shouldn't an intersection with such poor sight lines have either
traffic lights or stop signs on the approaches that cannot be seen?

"> Based on your grammar it's clear you are not form the UK US or
canada. "
You misspelled "from" as "form".
And, of course, you failed to capitalize "I".
