Lane changing statistically causes more accidents on American highways and freeways than any other traffic incident and many of these accidents are caused because of the infamous “blind spot”. The driver is unable to see another vehicle that is travelling in the lane he is moving into and he collides with another vehicle, often at very high speeds.
The easiest way to change lanes when driving in traffic is to use a blind spot mirror that you must install and adjust, so that you have a wider area of visibility. The blind spot mirror gives you access to all the blind spots that the vehicle presents with and makes it much safer and easier to change lanes. With this added visibility, your reaction times are also improved and you can often avoid a collision through fast reaction time, reversing the maneuver. Installing blind spot mirrors are known to reduce lane change related collisions both in city traffic and on freeways. Anything in your blind spot and surrounds is reflected life size and easily identified so you are less likely to make a mistake.
Concentration is also very important when lane changing and as a driver you should be vigilant and attentive at all times. Each mirror should always be checked before making a maneuver like changing lanes to avoid the likeliness of a collision. Using blind spot mirrors greatly reduces your chances of having a collision when you are changing lanes. If you do not already have a set of blind spot mirrors you should consider a state of the art MaxiView blind spot mirror, easy to install and fully adjustable.
