Designer Blind Spots?

Ok, those glasses with the thick arms, what's up with those things? It's like self inflicted 'tunnel vision'

I have a couple reasons why they aren't a good design...

First thing is driving safety, while driving, you already have a blind spot with your vehicle, now you are making another blind spot while wearing these glasses with, basically, a wall around your eyes.

Next is just personal safety, you can't really see around you at all, you really have no peripheral vision. Which means you can't see any person approaching you from any side, other then straight. I wonder if muggers look for people wearing these things.

Bottom line: Don't be dumb, pay attention to your surroundings...
