What Are the Blind Spots When Reversing a Car?

[ElisaDella]

Blind spots when reversing include: the front of the car, the area close to the side of the car, the part below the rear windshield, and the area on the right rear side of the car. Here are some precautions to take when reversing: 1. Have someone assist you when reversing: The right rear side of the car is a blind spot, which is the farthest area from the driver and sometimes difficult to observe. If someone is available, ask them to help guide you. Remember to roll down the window, or you won't hear them even if they shout. If the space isn't spacious, you don't need to reverse too much—just enough to move forward, as reversing is slightly more challenging and riskier than moving forward. 2. Check the terrain before reversing: When reversing, don't focus solely on the rear of the car, especially when there are vehicles on both sides. Pay attention to whether your car's front bumper might hit the vehicles on either side, and also check for any obstacles around. If there are obstacles on both sides, try to keep the car body close to the left when reversing left and close to the right when reversing right. Additionally, avoid the habit of turning the steering wheel while stationary, as this can easily damage the vehicle.
