It seems from a search done when the original thread was fresh is that some states/municipalities tried to ban them when not towing due to complaints from people hitting them in parking lots because they couldn't see them. For example a car would pull in behind yours and not notice it before pulling into the spot and then not being able to see it because their hood blocked the view. None of these ever passed.
That's a real issue today. The cars are designed by NHTSA and you can not see beyond the high point of the hood. Women have poorer depth perception. Can't see the corners at night or driveways etc either.
Probably a few have hit hitch but not perceived it being a real problem until you mentioned it.
We've all banged up our legs, if we towed several times.
Might be a market, for a hitch that retracts or folds to the side, under the bumper out of the way. Hummmmm
I am assuming you said that to get a response from females...so I asked my MALE eye doctor...he said it was a foolish and incorrect comment! There! :R
