What are the blind spots when driving a car?
1 Answers
Blind spots when driving a car include: 1. Front, rear, and underbody blind spots: These are semi-blind spots where obstacles are only invisible when they are relatively low in height. The front and rear blind spots vary depending on the vehicle's specifications and model. The underbody blind spots are located near the side skirts and rear wheels, which are the areas below that cannot be seen in the rearview mirrors. The size of these blind spots is influenced by the vehicle's height, the size of the rearview mirrors, and their angles. 2. A-pillar blind spot: This is located on both sides of the vehicle toward the front, where the view is obstructed by the 'pillar' between the windshield and the front side windows. The size of this blind spot is entirely determined by the A-pillar. 3. Rearview mirror and B-pillar blind spots: The observation range of the side rearview mirrors is limited, and the area diagonally behind the vehicle is generally a blind spot for the exterior rearview mirrors. The B-pillar blind spot and the front passenger seat can also block part of the view. Even when checking the diagonal rear while changing lanes, one might overlook the possibility of pedestrians or vehicles in the B-pillar blind spot.
