I mean, I agree with you, but they are on the road so that's how it works. As long as everyone understands the flaws in the system and behaves appropriately then it works.
Life is a big fat compromise and vans with blind spots is the one of the compromises we have to put up with. I'm sure there'll be blind spot cameras any day now (if they don't already exist) and hopefully they'll be made mandatory sooner or later. Then we can undertake to our hearts'e's content.

What other area of life would be tolerate this? Would you fly in a plane that only had a radar working for 'most' of the area around it, we'll just let the pilots guess for that blank spot there?
Vehicles with a flaw like that shouldn't be on the roads.
