blind spot

A blind spot refers to an area around a vehicle where the driver cannot see other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles directly through the mirrors. This happens because of the vehicle's design and the placement of mirrors, which leave small zones outside their view. To minimize blind spots, drivers should adjust mirrors properly, look over their shoulder before changing lanes, and be extra cautious in complex driving environments. Recognizing blind spots is essential for safe driving, helping prevent accidents caused by unseen hazards.
