Is it necessary to install car blind spot mirrors?
2 Answers
It mainly depends on the owner's preference. Owners who install them generally believe that car blind spot mirrors are an ideal auxiliary product for ensuring driving safety, increasing the field of view, and assisting with overtaking and lane changing. Blind spot mirrors are also an ideal reversing aid, usually installed at the lower positions of the left and right rearview mirrors. Here is an introduction to blind spot mirrors: Side observation: The installation of blind spot mirrors allows drivers to better observe the side of the vehicle and the condition of the rear wheels while seated in the car. If a vehicle approaches from the blind spot, it can be detected promptly. When changing lanes, a quick glance reveals the rear wheels clearly, reducing the risk of accidents. When reversing: For novice drivers, having a blind spot mirror makes reversing simpler. During parallel parking, it helps observe the relative position of the right wheel. It effectively helps novice drivers develop a sense of the vehicle, especially when parking in a garage or reversing, allowing them to better understand the road conditions.
I think car blind spot mirrors are quite necessary, especially for novice drivers like me who often drive in the city. Before installing them, I used to feel nervous every time I changed lanes or reversed, because the rearview mirror had blind spots, making it easy to miss small cars or pedestrians on the side and rear, leading to a few close calls. After installation, the field of vision expanded, allowing me to see more details, and parking became much easier. Although new cars now come with blind spot monitoring systems, those are much more expensive, while a small blind spot mirror costs only about ten yuan and is super easy to install—just stick it on. In short, for the sake of safety and convenience, installing one is definitely worth it. After all, avoiding just one accident is a win.
