Being a defensive driver involves being aware of blind spots, both your own and those of other drivers. Blind spots are areas outside your field of vision that can obstruct your view of other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and animals. These areas are larger in SUVs, hatchbacks, and trucks, making it crucial to adjust your driving style accordingly.
To drive safely, it’s important to learn how to properly adjust your mirrors and be mindful of blind spots. While mirrors are useful, they should not be solely relied upon. Always check over your shoulder to ensure there are no hidden obstacles in your blind spot.
Blind spots are a common cause of car accidents, but they can be avoided by being vigilant. If a vehicle disappears from your field of vision, assume it has moved into your blind spot. Additionally, be conscious of the blind spots of other drivers and make an effort to stay out of them to prevent potential accidents.
