This is the best advice I could give you as all these extra gadgets are nice but they should be used to give you a better view of your surroundings when mirrors can't and not to be used to supplement them.

Also I'm curious how your wife damaged the car, did she think she had more room than she thought when using the camera or did she have a blind spot and hit the driver's side near the tailpipes at an angle?
Yup, all the gizmos in the world don’t replace turning your head around and taking a look.

That being said, I can’t imagine why she didn’t look around with all the beeping from the sensors.
