Everyone knows that in the process of driving and walking, it is necessary to stay away from large trucks as much as possible, because there are large "blind spots" around these vehicles, resulting in traffic accidents and casualties. However, for ordinary cars, due to the popularity of today's body radar, many drivers will relax their vigilance, and they will drive by feeling for the corners they can't see, which is more likely to lead to traffic accidents.
Today we will talk about the topic of "blind spots", whether drivers and pedestrians, need to be vigilant and pay attention to safety precautions.
Blind spots in the field of vision caused by the body structure
Affected by the structure of the hood, trunk, column between the windshield, etc., the vehicle will form a blind spot in the front, rear, AB column, bottom and other areas, making it easy to cause rear-end collisions and scratching problems during the start, reversing, and slow driving process of the vehicle.
Blind areas in front of and behind the vehicle, left and right vision

Blind spot at the bottom of the vehicle
Blind spots in the field of vision during driving
When getting on and off passengers: vehicles stop at the side of the road, due to the obstruction of the rear view, then it is necessary to pay attention to the observation of vehicles, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians obliquely behind the door to avoid the danger caused by blindly opening the door.
The gray area is the visible range of the car during driving, the same below.
When the vehicle changes lanes: Due to the limited visual range of the left, center and right rearview mirrors when the vehicle changes lanes, it is necessary to observe whether there is a vehicle behind the side in advance, otherwise blind lane change is very easy to cause traffic accidents.
Overtaking: The rear car's line of sight will be obscured by the front car, and the oncoming car may not be visible.
When going uphill and downhill: When the vehicle is uphill, it will form an angle with the slope, and the blind spot of vision will appear, and it may not be possible to find the opposite vehicle and other obstacles on the ramp. Vehicles on the slope may also encounter such situations when they go downhill.
When taking mountain roads: When a vehicle passes a curve in a mountainous area, the inner mountain may block the view, and the oncoming vehicle may also encounter such a situation.
When driving at night: Turning on a road without lights at night, before the front of the car is turned, the lights have not yet covered the road surface, because only part of the road is visible, which is easy to lead to accidents.
How to avoid blind spots in the field of vision?
Observe before getting on and off the bus
Before getting on the bus, check the surrounding conditions of the car, whether there are any obstacles and the distance between the body and the obstacles.
Maintain distance, correct use of headlights, horns, etc
Maintain the distance during driving, especially when overtaking, meeting, changing lanes, keep the distance, and use the lights correctly to ensure a safe distance before passing, especially away from large vehicles, do not follow or drive side by side for a long time.
Do not drive tired
Driving for a long time can lead to fatigue, decreased concentration, and is very dangerous, so be sure to avoid it!
