How To Use Blind Spot Mirrors Properly

Super likes are appreciated 🫡

While driving, it’s good practice to constantly check your surroundings by monitoring all mirrors. This will help drivers to be aware of other vehicles before it gets in your blind zone. Before turning or switching Lanes, view your side mirror to see if there’s any vehicle to the side you want to turn. If you do not see any vehicle in your side mirror, that doesn’t mean it’s safe to turn or switch Lane

I almost got side swiped on the highway because someone was flying past me cutting up. Didn’t see him now I’m getting these to be safe

I've been driving for many years but I was unable to explain my wife how this works, and this video does it so well. Thank you, great job. 👍

This is the best illustration I have seen so far. Others have been nothing but opinions. This is very useful.

Exactly what I was looking for! Now I know how to install and adjust the blind spot mirror. Thank you!!

I got these and they have helped me drive more safely! They are fantastic! It’s amazing how much I was missing as I was driving before I got them.

Thank you so much. I couldnt see properly in my blind spot, I bought some blind spot mirrors and this video really helped me to use them effectively and prevent accidents on the road. Thank you.

i couldn't be without my blind spot mirrors, i have driven vehicles without a blind spot mirrors and i dont feel safe driving, but those blind spot mirrors have saved me from not seeing a car to my side.

Excellent and simple explanation and examples! Thank you!

This was an excellent video on how to use car mirrors. You emphasized the importance of using the rear, side, and blind spot mirrors in tandem. This will save lives! You belabor where on the side mirror to place the blind spot mirror, but I'm going to take your lead and put it in the upper left corners since I want to see other cars in my blind spot and not use the blind spot for parking. Many thanks for your excellent information.

Great video explaining how to turn safer. Yes always be aware of your surroundings! Whether in a car or even out and about (on foot). Stay alert and don't just get locked looking forward! Oh and look out for motorcycles as well. Stay safe!

Brother, thankyou so so much for this very good and helpful video

Good video. There's many YouTube driving instructors in UK might learn something by watching this video.
The only minor slight difference with my standard mirror mirrors is I would have them set in a way that I couldn't see any of the car in the the mirror. When changing lanes I would move my head slightly to check the side. Otherwise top class👍

Great review and example of use! Im buying some now great video

Thanks for the video. It's kind of a trial and error to get the adjustment right. I use a parking lot with a few cars to get the adjustment ... But sometimes the mirrors get moved by people or when washing the car etc...I have found the blindspot mirror also helps with the merge onto the highway .. sometimes car can be right alongside at the same speed as you.. right in the transition from side to Blindspot mirror..(maybe mirror positioning was off) i have had that happen and it surprised me when I saw them in the shoulder check. Another case where i miss cars is If you are in the extreme left or right lane with 2 lanes on the other side.. sometimes you won't pickup the car 2 lanes over in any mirror (side or blindspot mirror).. and the 2 of you might be changing lanes into the same position.. So i still shoulder check...

best explanation I've seen so far...kool nuh man

These are useful, but since I just installed them, I’m not used to the mirrors yet. Everything seems magnified and I find it difficult compared to when I didn’t have them lol. I got a broadway mirror installed so I can see a much wider view than typical rear view mirror. Just thought I’d try blind spot mirrors as an added sense of security. I’ll try them a few more days but thinking of returning if not used to them haha

Thanks for the video and if I may say so the blind spot mirrors are even better than then the blind spot sensors as the sensors may get dirty and malfunction. The mirrors I like best. 😊

Last Friday I was driving back from the hospital and I navigated a roundabout. (In England we have roundabouts everywhere.) Then I got beeped by a car on my left as I was moving from the right lane to the left. I just did not see the vehicle in the blind zone or even when I looked over my shoulder to check. So as soon as I returned home I ordered these blind spot mirrors. They arrived today. One question I have is what position are they best placed on the door mirrors? I think most drivers fix them in the lower left or right corner, but in this video they are positioned further up.

My car has sensors as shown but they only function when you have your blinkers on. This is why it's critical to use your blinkers every time you plan to switch lanes. I'm looking for a set of blindspot mirrors that do not cover up my sensor indicators

[antonzgurskiy]

I usually install in bottom closer Conner
