The joys of country living - right Mary? Unfortunately, some of these old folks on their lawn tractors seem to feel like they have the right to just pull out, and the drivers on the road will see them and proceed accordingly! I've had similar instances.

Then I had a really scary close call in the parking lot of the grocery store. I loaded my groceries in my car, got in and started it, looked both right and left, and in the rear view mirror, and all was clear for me to back out - or so I thought! As I start to ease back, all of a sudden this head pops into view in my rear view mirror. This crazy person had dropped something right behind my car and bent down to pick it up, so when I had checked my mirror, it appeared to be clear to go, since she was not within the mirror range. Scared the crap out of me, thinking what could have happened if she hadn't stood back up when she did. Something like that happening, never crossed my mind before - but you can bet I sit for an extra few moments before I back up anymore - even if I see it's clear to go in my mirror.

A rear view camera would have prevented something like that from ever happening.
