I’ve seen them called “Stop Lines”, “Balk Line”, etc. The thick line painted on the road at a Stop Sign.
You’re supposed to stop before the line, but a lot of the time there’s a bush or other obstruction so you can’t see any crossing traffic. You have to creep forward until you can see anything.
Is there a reason for this? Is it done on purpose? It makes sense if there’s a crosswalk or something, but I see it a lot where there shouldn’t be any pedestrian activity.
This is how I have my mirrors, but my wife likes to see the side of her vehicle which for some reason is how it was taught when I was a kid.
She doesn’t believe that I can watch a car approach in the rear view, see it transition to the side and there’s a point I can see it in both at the same time, then transition to seeing it in my peripheral vision and the side mirror.
Something like 90% of people don’t realize they have their mirrors positioned incorrectly.
