The only observation I can make is 230gr. vs 3000+ lbs., its obvious use the car on them or the car you got boxed in by. Don't put yourself in the box to begin w/ even in a drivethru lane you can leave space, especially where the line curves around the building only a few feet are required to cut the wheels hard and get the hell outta dodge. Can't see the wheels in front of you, too close. If someone behind you gets irate over the 5 feet you could be moving up which will do them no good anyway, feed 'em fish heads, they'll have to get over it.
I also set my mirrors so there are no blindspots, to do so get your rearview where you want it, then lean your head against the side window while looking fwd and adjust the side mirror until you can barely see the side of the car in the mirror. Lean the same amount to the right and repeat. Wonderful for driving SA too, only caution is that it requires making a completely different scan pattern habit.
