I wonder how many sighted passengers actually check out where their nearest exit is once they are seated. I always make it a point to ask the cabin crew if they don't tell me themselves.
Yes, most blind people do this and cabin crew are taught to count the rows and should let you know how many are between you and the nearest exit.
