It took awhile but yesterday I finally thought to use my phone to take photos.
Trouble is, the Mariner has a long front or hood, at least compared to the Venture, causing me to have to ooch out aways into the street to be able to see past those stupid bushes. One can see the middle and inside lanes alright....it's the outside lane that is badly obscured.
I think the city ought to make that restaurant cut those dumb bushes down.

I agree. Bushes planted like that are a danger. I hate to say it, however, but cars like your Mariner are dangerous to smaller cars-- supposing you were beside me trying to get out of a parking lot onto a busy street. You meant to turn right, but I have to cross traffic to turn left. You'd stick your nose out to try to get into traffic (right on red) but in so doing you'd completely block my view of oncoming traffic, causing me to miss opportunities to get out. Sheesh, I hate it when you do that! Whatsamatterwidyou? :rollingeyes:
I'm kidding you, of course.
I think every town has intersections like that. There should be an ordinance that bushes can't be within a certain distance from the road. In the winter we have the same problem with huge snow banks that block visibility. By the time you inch out enough to see, your front end is in the roadway.
Oh, I hate spots like that! Those bushes really should be removed. I wonder if you could report that to the city? I doubt you're the first one that has happened to there.
wouldn't you think the insurance companies would be all over getting laws in place to prevent this sort of hazard? I don't get it.
Little bird here for no reason except it looks like a warmish bird and we are very cold where I am today. Hope you don't mind. :birdie:
