Have you ever heard that saying, you cannot see what is in your blind spot? Well as a driver, we have all experienced that saying at one time in our lives. It can scare the life right out of you. Sure, like me you have tried adjusting your side mirrors to extend the view, you try to fool around with your rear-view mirror thinking you can outsmart the blind spot. Nope! The reality is adjusting these mirrors around only seems to displace the unknown. If you are coming up to a lane change where you can see the car beside you that is great, however, the issue is unless we are going the same speed, this can be dangerous. Just before changing lanes, that driver in the car beside you could have accelerated and by the time you go to look, they are in that blind spot. And boom! you have smashed into someone, and this would be your fault. If you are driving a new vehicle that has the light up detection for sensing a blind spot, that is great, but they do not tend to work when moving next to stopped obstacles or for detecting smaller vehicles like bikes, motorcycles, or other smaller moving traffic. You also need to make sure the sensors are free from dirt or snow to ensure they are working.

If we all know that the blind spot in our vehicle can create a significant issue, why do so many of us ignore the accessories that are available to help ensure a safer ride?

If you have not thought about adding a blind spot mirror to your mirrors, this is something you should investigate. This works like the act of turning your head to check in your blind spot.
