Well there'd be you and then there'd be a bunch of overweight truck/other heavy vehicle drivers.

Liking that annoying beep would be the only thing in common though.

Although I don't like the reversing sound, it does have it's uses. It's great for telling my runt of a dog to get out of the way and warning fellow man to do the same as I proclaim "F**king blindspots!".

But the beeping is only on the inside of the car, not the outside

"If it saves you once a year - it's a good year!"

And I don't mean the Good Year tyres either. The reverse beep has saved me once when I didn't even realise I was in reverse. Heard it above the music just before I stepped on the gas

. Almost plowed into a concrete wall
