I learned shortly after getting my Z that backing up out of a parking space can be like walking through a mine field.

Our cars a low so we usually are not visible next to other cars. The blind spot adds to the perfect storm. Then add the clueless parking lot speeders.

My routine was to roll my windows down so I can hear if a car is coming that I couldn't see. Ease out until I can see out of the passenger side port hole. Do a full scan and back out.

I recently replaced my stock radio and added a back up camera. This doesn't completely solve the problem but it does provide increased visibility.

Backing into spots is the best option before getting the camera I was concerned about docking and screwing up my exhaust/muffler.

Default NO Blind Spot

dP3NGU1N suggestion really works. I learned this years ago from some Insurance Co pamplet . You can make split second decisions, and save your own ***. Try it! Get use to it. There does not have to be a blind spot.
Cheers
