That's horrible, I can't imagine having to help friends through something like that. Sorry for your loss.

My wife doesn't understand why I always back into driveways, parking spaces, etc. That is why. When you are pulling up, you generally have a clear view of everything that's going on. But when you are getting ready to leave, it may be clear when you are getting in the car, but an awful lot can happen in the few seconds it takes to get your seat belt on, adjust the radio, buckle up. I'd rather be looking straight ahead. Having said all that, I don't think technology is the answer here.

Again, my condolences
