I’d argue you still have a lot more visibility than if you were facing the other way. And you have to slide out a lot less to get a good-enough line of sight.
Either way I’m blind if there’s a big fucker next to me at the start, and it’s about 1/5th of the car moved to see either way. I guess that’s car dependant though, it’s only my direct rear visibility that sucks and sideways back is fine but I’ve definitely been in cars where trying to see what’s next to you and a bit back is hard.
