Glad everyone is ok, this makes me think Ford should make BLIS standard. It might have saved you.

It was made standard from 2021 onward so... OP had BLIS assuming his car was a 22.Glad everyone is ok, this makes me think Ford should make BLIS standard. It might have saved you.
So the OP missed the yellow warning light AND the red truck in the next lane?It was made standard from 2021 onward so... OP had BLIS assuming his car was a 22.
I prefer the double mirrors on the prior years and some common sense, although blis shouldnt hurt. Still should have a double mirror with a convex mirror to show other lanes without having to rely on sensors.It was made standard from 2021 onward so... OP had BLIS assuming his car was a 22.
Well then the shops you work with are HACKSRight off the bat even fixed to perfection ( never happen) it will be worth 3-5K less once it hits the Carfax , never mind the corrosion resistance and structural integrity will never be the same .
I deal with bodyshops all day long its how I make a living but you are kidding yourself if you don't believe the insurance company pressure on these shops to get the cars out ... Even the best shops would be hard pressed to spend an extra minute to make sure processes are done correctly .
This is moot anyway because the car looks finished .
Georgia is a "fault" insurance state, the guilty party's insurance company pays for all repairs and diminished value. So what that means, is that your insurance company might have taken care of things, the other person's insurance actually paid for it all.I got hit.and yes to both questions
1. Diminished value would be paid, so that's not an issue.Right off the bat even fixed to perfection ( never happen) it will be worth 3-5K less once it hits the Carfax , never mind the corrosion resistance and structural integrity will never be the same .

Or drivers should learn how to drive properly. The OP messed up, it happens, that's why there's insurance.Glad everyone is ok, this makes me think Ford should make BLIS standard. It might have saved you.
This ^^^The key is to find a reputable shop that does the work correctly, and press them for photos of the repairs to show it's all done properly.

Turning head is hard <sarcasm >Or drivers should learn how to drive properly. The OP messed up, it happens, that's why there's insurance.
Good Christ, how did anyone ever manage to drive from A to B without 13,000 "safety" features that do nothing other than let the worst drivers stay on the road until they kill someone.
Lowest. Common. Denominator.
I don't know, maybe just turn your head and look?Agreed, the blind spot mirror is much more valuable than BLIS, BLIS lights-up when the oncoming vehicle is 'already there', with a blind spot mirror the driver looks, if both mirrors are clear it is safe to pull out [barring an oncoming vehicle driving at an excessive rate of speed, but in such a case, the BLIS is still inferior]. Blind spot mirrors should be an option at a minimum.
