I often hear that one should not load the car is such a way that rear view (through rear window) is blocked.

If the goods are securely fastened, what is the problem if rear window is blocked?

Vans and lorries don't have rear view.

Dates back to the days when wing/door mirrors were an optional extra rather than a standard fitting....

But still good advice if you can do it - less blind spots!
