Get Rid of Your Blind Spot
Blind spots are a major problem for many drivers - failure to check your blind spot when pulling out of a parking space or changing lanes on the highway can lead to serious accidents, damaging cars and injuring passengers. Fortunately, you can adjust your mirrors to eliminate blind spots in almost all cars by setting your side mirrors out 15 degrees.
Steps
- Lean your head over so it is even with the window and adjust your LEFT mirror so that you can barely see the side of the vehicle from this position.
- Put your head at the center point of the car and adjust the RIGHT mirror as you did the left.
Tips
- It may take some time to adjust to the new alignment of your mirrors.
- This technique expands your field of vision to include your blind spots. If you adjust your mirrors traditionally, you are only duplicating the rear-view with the side mirrors.
