Why It Is Important To Be Aware Of Blind Spots in Your Car
Blind spots are any area around your car that you cannot properly see in the rearview mirrors. Those who are lucky to own a modern car of recent generation, have rearview cameras and proximity sensor available to help them avoid any kind of collision. However, many people still drive cars without these modern facilities, and they need to be aware of blind spots.
Why is it so important?
- Avoid an Accident
As one car attempts to overtake yours, there are a few seconds when it is no longer visible in the rearview mirror and not yet visible in the wing mirror. This is the moment when an accident can happen, as you may be trying to overtake the car in front of you at the same time.
- Avoid Parking Damages
A dent in your car door or a broken backlight can cost hundreds of dollars to repair. These are the most frequent casualties when parking sideways without being aware of a blind spot. In a worse case scenario, you may hit another parked vehicle and be liable to pay for the repairs for that one, as well.
- Avoid Running over Pets
Many families lost a beloved pet that was running alongside the car as the driver tried to maneuver it in the driveways. Being aware of blind spots an carefully looking around when you maneuver your car in a tight area may save the life of your furry friend.
