Whether the blind spots in the 370Z are any worse than the 350 or any other two-seat coup is debatable. Certainly, if you are driving a coupe with a back seat that gives you a longer roofline and generally, more side window area you blind spots will be reduced. Likewise, a four-door sedan with real side windows in the rear doors usually offers a good viewing area too.
However, no matter what you drive, changing lanes is always something or a risky move…even in a vehicle with good visibility and even if you really look and try to be safe, you can still get clobbered…I see it happen (or almost happen) all the time and I’m sure you do too.
Bottom line is, try not to change lanes any more than you REALLY have to and when you do change lanes, be as careful as you can and always, always , always try to be aware of who/what is around you. After doing all that, a little whispered prayer isn’t a bad idea!
