Introduction to the function of a rearview blind spot mirror: 1. Reduce blind spots. During daily driving, due to the presence of certain blind spots in the driver's line of sight, it is often difficult to notice some overtaking situations, leading to unnecessary accidents. Installing a small convex mirror on the rearview mirror can eliminate the blind spot on the right rear side of the vehicle. 2. Make reversing more convenient. During daily driving, drivers usually cannot see the condition of the side of the vehicle body and the rear wheels. With the installation of a small convex mirror, the driver's viewing angle is expanded, making it easier to see the position of the rear wheels when reversing. For beginners, parking becomes much simpler. 3. Prevent scratches. A wider field of vision naturally allows the driver to see more objects, thus avoiding incidents where the vehicle body gets scratched.

Driving my delivery van through the city every day, the blind spot convex mirror has been a lifesaver. The truck's right-side blind zone is enormous, but with this plastic convex mirror installed, I can clearly see electric scooters approaching from the side and rear. When reversing, a quick glance at the small round mirror shows exactly which parking line my rear tires are touching. Last time I made a U-turn in a narrow market alley, it helped me avoid hitting a fire hydrant at the corner. Don't underestimate this mirror – though smaller than a cookie, it stays functional even in rainy fog when wiped with the back of my hand, much more convenient than installing a full camera system. I recommend mounting it at the lower outer corner of the side mirror, adjusted just enough to see half of the rear wheel – positioning it too low actually obstructs the view.

A novice driver tells you that driving schools never teach about this kind of magical tool. Last week, while reversing in the neighborhood, I accidentally scraped my neighbor's potted plant. Without hesitation, I went to the auto parts market and spent twenty bucks to install a pair of small round mirrors. Now, I can directly see the rear tires and ground markings from the driver's seat, making parking a one-shot success. When choosing mirrors, opt for those with blue coating—they have good anti-glare effects at night, and avoid those with excessive curvature to prevent severe distortion. When installing, be careful not to block the turn signal indicator on the original rearview mirror; positioning them at the lower outer corner of the mirror is the most practical. It's recommended to use them in conjunction with the rearview mirror heating function to prevent fogging on rainy or snowy days.

We female car owners look for both practicality and aesthetics when choosing car accessories. This thumb-sized mirror unexpectedly works like a charm. I used to always curb the wheels when parallel parking, but now I can clearly see the wheel position in the mirror with just a turn of the steering wheel. When shopping online, remember to choose the version with a universal ball joint—it allows free rotation and is super convenient. Be cautious with the pink crystal-encrusted style, as the reflection can be too glaring. I fixed it at the lower left corner of the driver's side rearview mirror, perfectly compensating for the blind spot of the original car view. The only downside is noticeable distortion at high speeds, so it's not recommended for checking approaching vehicles from behind. Focus on using it as a parking aid instead.

How many years does a car require two inspections per year?

Small cars require two inspections per year after 15 years. Below are the specific details about motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It's equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the "Technical Requirements for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Non-commercial vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, require annual inspection from 6 to 15 years, need two inspections per year after 15 years, four inspections per year after exceeding 500,000 kilometers, and must be scrapped after reaching 600,000 kilometers. 2. Optimal timing: Vehicles can undergo inspection applications within 3 months before the annual inspection date. It's best to schedule 2 months or 1 month in advance. Additionally, before the 10th of each month when inspection stations have relatively lighter workloads presents an excellent opportunity to avoid queues.
