Everybody knows that
There are inherently blind spots around the car
On the go
It is affected by road alignment, slope, building, greening, etc
and changes in position relative to other vehicles
There will also be "dynamic dead zones"
Carelessness can lead to accidents
Daily use of the car, driving

How scary are vehicle blind spots?
Let's take a closer look
What is a vehicle blind spot?
The so-called vehicle blind spot is the part of the area where the driver is in a normal driving position, and his vision is blocked by the car body and cannot be directly observed. Once entering the blind spot of the vehicle, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are easily "swallowed" at the moment when the vehicle starts and turns.
For vehicle blind spots
What to look out for?
Drivers must get into the habit of going around the car for a week before getting into the car. In this way, you can not only effectively find obstacles in the blind spot of the vehicle, but also observe the state of the vehicle itself, such as whether the tires are flat. In addition, when the vehicle is turning, the driver should move his body back and forth as much as possible so that he can see the status of the A-pillar in the blind spot.
Tips for overcoming blind spots
When driving through an intersection, you should control your speed and watch for 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 bus.
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, and give up overtaking in the following three situations:
(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, before changing lanes, the vehicle must turn on its turn signals to signal the surrounding vehicles to prepare in advance to avoid causing an accident.
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 warn 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.
