The headrests are there for a reason. Hope you don't get rear-ended.

Wow. That is one of the dumbest things if this is serious. Going to assume you're an intelligent human and this was a joke.

That an stupid idea.The head rest are there to prevent "whiplash" .When you have an accident. Especially head on.Just move you head around and look at your mirrors.

I appreciate your concern, and know exactly why the headrest's are there. Better visibility and the ability to turn your head and see the old fashioned way is more important to me.

Head on collisions, you go forward. With the headrest's on you can move your head all you want and still cannot see . Now I can move my head and see, something many younger generations do not do, turn around and look.

So yes head on collisions you go forward, you know you just don't keep traveling forward right? You will eventually bounce back.

Hope you aren't ever involved in an accident, that will probably make the recovery so much worse.

Do you ever have a passenger in the car, as I noticed you removed their neck injury protection too. Are seatbelts next? Much more freedom of motion with them removed.

Although a little "claustrophobic" feeling, I've never had a problem with the visibility with this car.

Yep, you'll be sure to get whiplash if someone rear ends you now and your better visibility out the car won't help much to prevent that scenario since it will probably be the other guys fault that hits you.

buy a pair of blind spot stick on mirrors for $20 off amazon and save yourself the head turning trouble.

I basically sleep when am driving, my head is under the window bottom line yet I can see everything around me without having to move my head. Blind spot stick ons+ adjusted mirrors
