...for another reason. As a pedestrian I often need to see the driver when I'm about to cross the street so that I can determine if they see ME. So many drivers pulling onto a cross street will look only in the direction where they expect to see a car coming and will not look in the other direction to see if there is a pedestrian coming. I need to be able to tell if the driver sees me and I can't do that with those damned windows.
