Fun shot!
There was an ad showing on Canadian tv when Smart Cars first came out showing
one parked like that, but it was pulled when it was realized that it's illegal
to park that way here. I guess that pulling into traffic from that position
could be a tad, er, unwieldy.
I would think that it would be even safer (this is "nose out", not "nose to the
curb", right?). If you can see both left and right before pulling out, you're even better off
than trying to peek into the mirror before making a move. Seems to me, anyways.
As a regular bike and motorcycle commuter, the size (and/or crash-worthiness)
of these vehicles doesn't put me off.
The PRICE, however.... yeesh.
They don't get much better mileage than my 1993 Saturn SC2 got either,
which I think is appalling.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
