Question 5854
To make sure there is no other road user in the vehicle's blind spot, what must you do?
- Install a panoramic interior rearview mirror.
- Briefly turn your head to look through the side windows.
- Properly adjust the rearview mirrors.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Briefly turn your head to look through the side windows.
Even with properly adjusted mirrors, there is a blind spot on each side that you cannot see in them. Before moving to either side, briefly turn your head and look through the side window. Neither a panoramic interior mirror nor proper mirror adjustment eliminates that area. In the image, the motorcycle traveling to the left of the passenger car is visible through the driver's side window.
