I agree that with the belts on and tight, I can't see a damn thing,
and wouldn't try backing up unless I was really sure.  But without
the belts on, it's really easy to turn around and look behind you, and
it can be very helpful to have reverse at times.

That said, I still think there's no advantage to this proposal, at
least for CM.

P.S.  Please note that my proposal was addressed to the SEB.  Be
careful not to include them on replies unless you really mean to.
