Confidence is an important aspect of good driving and many drivers are confident that their reflexes and driving experience will get them through a traffic incident without a collision. There is certainly no time to stop and panic or think over the situation, so having the confidence to rely on your reactions is important. Blind spots cause a lot of vehicle collisions during lane changing but the slow reaction time of the driver is also partly responsible. Blind spot mirrors can greatly improve the driver’s reaction time because they see the approaching vehicle sooner using the extended view mirror and thereby respond faster. Successfully avoiding a collision increases confidence and reduces nervousness and tension when driving.
Many drivers have reported that the MaxiView blind spot mirror improved their driving skills and increased their confidence on the roads.

You attach the base of the mirror on the top corner of your regular side mirrors with a strong adhesive strip. The lens is fog resistant and it produces an image several times larger than other blind spot mirrors. Another great feature is the ball swivel joint that allows you to place the lens in any position to suit the driver’s size and seat position.
With a set of blind spot mirrors attached to your side mirrors, your visibility is greatly increased and you will feel so much safer and more confident when you drive. Knowing that you no longer have a blind spot on either side of your vehicle is a great peace of mind to any driver and you will no longer have to turn your head to access that blind spot when you are backing or changing lanes. Blind spot mirrors are certainly the way to become a confident driver and are great for learner drivers as well.
