That one picture of even front-end visibility always stuck with me. It's something stupid like 15 kids in a line and the driver can't see them. You could drive into a classroom worth of children and not see it.
I had a guy in a pickup drive right into my 8ft long trailer when I as stopped at a light. He pulled up to me while I was stopped fine, but then he couldn't see my trailer and 30 seconds later started rolling forward while the light was still red and hit it. I was very annoyed and when I talked to him he said he forgot it was there and couldn't see it. I was speechless.
