What Are the Blind Spots When Driving a Car?
1 Answers
The blind spot of a car is located in the area from 45 to 60 degrees outward starting from the car door. More details are as follows: Left and Right A-Pillar Blind Spots: Some cars have particularly wide A-pillars, which severely obstruct the view. However, some cars have a small triangular window added to the A-pillar, effectively increasing visibility. The A-pillar blind spot is the most dangerous and the one that troubles drivers the most. This blind spot is particularly hazardous when starting off or making turns. Rearview Mirror Blind Spot: This blind spot has a wide range of hazards, affecting lane changes, turns, and reversing. The blind spot is roughly in the area from 45 to 60 degrees outward starting from the front door. Upon closer observation, when the front of the adjacent lane's car is near the rear wheel of your car, it cannot be seen in the rearview mirror. Therefore, when changing lanes, check the rearview mirror multiple times or glance out the window after checking the mirror to effectively address the rearview mirror blind spot while driving. Blind Spot Directly Behind the Vehicle: Due to the height of the vehicle and issues with the rear windshield and trunk, low areas directly behind the vehicle are not visible. However, this blind spot poses relatively minor hazards. Accidents are more likely to occur when reversing, so it's advisable to reverse slowly.
