Driving usually involves many instinctive actions to maneuver your way through heavy traffic and mad motorists filled with road rage. There are times when driving through our roads calls for divine patience and the best of our skills. Changing lanes and overtaking during peak traffic hours in major cities has become a perilous affair. Every move that a driver makes calls for proper and timely calculation to avoid collisions which sometimes lead to loss of limbs and lives. Amid this confusion, the most crucial factor is visibility. You need to be able to see all the other motorists and obstacles on the road while driving. Good and all round visibility should never be compromised while driving. In fact the most dangerous move that you should never make on our roads is to drive with limited visibility of such areas like the blind spot.
The blind spot is one of the leading causes of lane changing and overtaking accidents. This is because most drivers will simply check on their fish-eye side mirrors and on seeing no vehicles on their adjacent sides, move on to the next lane. What such drivers fail to understand is that the fish-eye and bubble types of side mirrors hardly provide clear and full views of the blind spot. You are likely to ram into the side of a vehicle you failed to see on your side mirror while changing lanes. The other alternative, which is often the case, is to turn your head backwards to physically check if there are any vehicles on the adjacent lanes before switching. This move is equally dangerous because you are more likely to ram into the vehicle in front when you lose frontal concentration. The solution to this problem is to install an optically engineered blind spot mirror that is not only adjustable to fit every driver’s viewing position but also provides clear real life distortion-free view of the blind spot.
