How can beginners determine the blind spot in front of the car?

Generally, the area not visible in front of the car is the farthest position when the steering wheel is turned fully left or right. If the steering wheel is not turned to its maximum extent, you can also choose to measure the actual distance. Currently, the front blind spot for small cars should not exceed 2.5 meters. Below is more related information: Blind Spots: Generally, blind spots are divided into passive and active. Passive blind spots usually consist of 10 areas, located at the front, rear, both sides of the A-pillars, both sides of the B-pillars, both sides of the C-pillars, and the left and right rearview mirrors. Active blind spots include obstacles inside the car and high beams. The main blind spots of a vehicle are the front, rear, and both sides, each presenting different angles and varying degrees of danger to the driver. Judging distances while driving is a skill. During driving, you must rely on your experience to determine the vehicle's travel distance. When turning or navigating narrow spaces, you must judge where the tires are pressing. This relies entirely on experience, so it's best for beginners to have an experienced driver accompany them when driving on the road; otherwise, it can be challenging to handle complex road conditions.
I remember when I first started driving, I was particularly worried about the blind spot in front of the car, always afraid of hitting something I couldn't see. Later, I got into the habit of adjusting the seat height before driving, making sure my eyes could see a tiny gap at the very front of the hood, which helped me estimate where the front of the car was. I practiced parking in an empty space, aligning the car body with the curb or parking lines repeatedly. It's also important to use the rearview and side mirrors frequently, and even lean slightly out of the window to check for obstacles before moving the car. Beginners should practice low-speed driving in an empty parking lot several times, learning to find reference points, such as stopping when the front of the car aligns with a roadside flower bed, to gradually develop a sense of space. Remember, don't rush—safety comes first.
