VEHICLE BLINDSPOT

A blind spot in a vehicle or vehicle blind spot is an area around the vehicle that cannot be directly seen by the driver while at the controls, under existing circumstances

BLINDSPOTS vary depending on the vehicle

What is the blind spot in a car?

All vehicles have blind spots. These are areas or zones on either side of a car that a driver cannot see when looking into the rearview or side-view mirrors. Blind spots are why a driver should always turn their head and check for cars before changing lanes.

Where are the two blind spots on a car?

These spots are evident on all cars regardless of design and type

The A-pillars are located at the front of the car on either side of the windscreen.

The B-pillars are at the centre between the front and rear doors (for four-door models).

The C-pillars are on either side of the rear windscreen.

How do you drive with a blind spot?

How do I test my blind spot?

With your right eye still closed, hold up your left thumb. Place your left thumb next to your right thumb. Keep looking at your right thumb and slowly move your left thumb to the left. When it disappears, you found your left eye's blind spot
Another technique when dealing with blind spots while driving is to look over your shoulder. If you cannot see a car in your mirrors, you should still be able to see it through the side windows. Because of the position of the most common blind spots, you will need to look over your left shoulder to do this.

Road safety is a message of love and only those who true love will share it with you.
