Blind Spots
See what your mirrors cannot show
Every vehicle has blind spots - areas not visible in mirrors. These zones are particularly dangerous for vulnerable road users like cyclists and motorcyclists who can be completely hidden from view.
Tại sao điều này lại quan trọng?
Blind spot accidents are often severe because drivers are completely unaware of the other road user. A quick shoulder check takes less than a second and could save a life.
Các hành động quan trọng cần thực hiện

Always do a shoulder check before changing lanes
Check blind spots before opening doors
Be aware of your position in other vehicles blind spots

Mẹo hay
The bigger the vehicle, the bigger its blind spots
