Blind spots are a thing of the past now with every car being equipped with side mirrors, or are they. The mirrors can not function properly if they are not adjusted properly. Follow these steps to adjust your rear view and side mirrors correctly to eliminate blind spots.
Step 1: Adjust your rear view mirror to give you a direct view out the rear windsheild. Do not tilt this mirror in any direction to adjust in the side views. Use your side mirrors to do this.
Step 2: Lean your head until it almost touches your side window and adjust your sider mirror so that you can JUST barely see the side of your vehicle.
Step 3: Lean your head the opposite direction and adjust your right side mirror until you can just barely see the right side of your vehicle.
Step 4: To check your blind spot while driving, make visual contact with the vehicle behind you by utilizing your rear view mirror. As the vehicle approaches you in the left lane shift your line of sight to the side mirror. Once the vehicle leaves the line of sight from the side mirror you should be able to recognize it with your pheripheral vision. Without even turing your head you had no blind spot!
