Stupid question but side mirrors on a car are not blind spot mirrors, right? The blind spot mirrors go on to regular ones, no?

 

[therealjohnny]

yes. blind spot mirrors are little attachments you can put on your regular wing mirrors

I had one of these on my old car, because cool as they look those vintage bullet mirrors are pretty life endangering for all the rera view they offer

seems like they could maybe make it standard to include mirrors that let you see the blind spot

but what do i know, i ain't no car scientist

Cars that aren't jumped up toys and were made within the last 20 years do have built in blind spots.

I think he is mocking the Japanese van that @Jill Hives bought as part of her new venture in life.

It occurs that we really haven't been mocking her choices enough on here.

I do it by changing lanes very gradually and waiting for someone to blow their horn.

How To Eliminate The Dreaded "Blind Spot"

Check for blind spots by doing the following: While driving along a four-lane road in the right lane, note a vehicle in the left lane coming up to pass you from behind. Without moving your head, glance in the rear-view mirror and follow it as it approaches your car in the left lane. Just before it disappears from your view in the rear-view mirror, glance to the left side mirror. There it is. Now follow that vehicle in the side mirror as it begins to pass you. Then, just before it disappears from the side mirror, you should see it with your peripheral vision. Notice that without even turning your head, you never had a blind-spot. Then try it with the right side mirror. Watch as you pass a vehicle travelling in the right lane go from your peripheral vision, to your right side mirror, to your rear-view mirror. Again, no blind-spot. If there is a blind spot for even a fraction of a second, your side mirror adjustment needs some fine-tuning.

your side mirror adjustment may also need some fine-tuning after you rear end the car in front while looking at the cars behind you moving around your mirrors
