Everybody knows that
There are inherently blind spots around the car
On the go
Affected by road slope, construction, greening, etc
and changes in position relative to other vehicles
There will also be "dynamic dead zones"
Carelessness can lead to accidents
How to prevent security risks caused by blind spots?
Let's take a closer look
Blind spots around the vehicle
Due to the length and width of the engine compartment and trunk, there are blind spots at the front and rear of the car that cannot be observed by the driver, and it is difficult to detect children or obstacles under 1 meter in this area. And the size of this blind spot is also affected by factors such as the body, seat height, front length, and the driver's figure.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
Before starting the vehicle, carefully inspect the vehicle around the vehicle to avoid children or obstacles around the vehicle.
A-pillar blind zone
The left and right A-pillars will also obscure the driver's view, especially when turning, which may affect the observation of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles in front of the left and right.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
When driving through an intersection, you should control your speed and pay attention to pedestrians on the left and right sides. When the light is green, start slowly.
Blind spot for rear seat passengers to get off the bus
When parking on the side of the road, the vision of the left and right rear seat passengers will be obstructed, and it is difficult to notice the oncoming vehicles, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians behind them, and it is easy to blindly open the door.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
Drivers and passengers should develop the habit of observing the road conditions on the left and right before getting off the bus, and make sure that it is safe before getting out of the car.
Overtaking blind spots
When overtaking, the view of the vehicle behind is obstructed by the vehicle in front of you, and you may not be able to see the oncoming vehicle.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
When overtaking, you should keep a certain distance from the car in front, the front of the car can be slightly to the left, quickly observe the road conditions of the opposite road, the following 3 situations should give up overtaking:
(1) When the vehicle in front signals a left turn or U-turn;
(2) When it is expected that there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle in the process of overtaking;
(3) When the vehicle in front is overtaking.
Rear blind spots
The gray area in the figure is the visual range of the left, middle and right rearview mirrors during the driving of the car, and when the vehicle on the right is outside the visual range, the blind lane change of the left car is very easy to cause traffic accidents.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
When changing lanes, you first need to look at the interior mirrors to see if the traffic flow behind you is suitable for lane changes. Then, the vehicle must turn on its turn signals before changing lanes, signaling the surrounding vehicles to prepare in advance to avoid accidents.
Blind spots on mountain roads
When a vehicle is passing over a curve in the mountains, the inside of the mountain may block the view, which can also happen to oncoming vehicles.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
When driving in mountainous areas, do not blindly rely on electronic devices such as navigation, control the speed, try to drive on the right side of the lane, and honk the horn to alert other vehicles during turning.
Blind spots on both uphill and downhill slopes
When the vehicle is going uphill, it will form an angle with the slope, and there will be a blind spot, and it may not be able to spot the oncoming vehicle and other obstacles on the ramp. Vehicles on a slope may also experience this type of situation when going downhill.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
When the vehicle is going up and down the slope, the speed should be reduced to a controllable range, and the horn should be sounded appropriately to remind the oncoming vehicle.
The public security traffic police reminded the majority of drivers
There is a crisis in the blind spot
Be careful when driving
Drive with caution!
What should drivers and pedestrians pay attention to when it comes to vehicle blind spots?
Drivers
● Observe around the car for a week: The driver must develop the habit of observing the car for a week before getting into the car, so that he can not only effectively find the obstacles in the blind spot of the vehicle, but also observe the state of the vehicle itself, such as whether the tires are flat.
●Observe carefully: When starting, turning, and reversing, you should observe carefully, and move your body back and forth as much as possible, so that you can see the state in the blind area of the A-pillar.
● Careful driving: During the turning, reduce the speed, turn on the turn signal or whistle in advance, turn the big bend as much as possible when turning, take the initiative to slow down or stop to observe, and do not rush to the road.
Non-motorized vehicle drivers and pedestrians
● Keep a distance between vehicles: Be sure to keep a lateral distance of more than 5 meters from the truck, and never drive or stop in front of the large truck.
● Stay away from the blind spot: do not walk side by side in the blind spot on both sides of the truck, do not follow closely behind the truck, do not play around the vehicle, do not run red lights, do not cross the line!
● Be cautious of the inner wheel difference: should try to stay away from the big truck that is turning or preparing to turn, do not enter the intersection at the same time as the big truck, do not accelerate and try to rush from the front of the turning truck, rather wait for three minutes, not grab a second.
