   I've done the same, but technology has changed that.   
      
   Most cars have rather good cameras, but many now have cross traffic   
   warnings too.  I find that safer than pulling forward when parked next   
   to a behemoth pickup that blocks the view.   
      
   I get a good view on the screen and beeps from both cars and pedestrians   
   before I can see them.
