A blind spot mirror (also called a blind spot mirror) is an auxiliary mirror installed on the exterior rearview mirror of a car, designed to help the driver better observe the blind spot behind the side of the vehicle. Blind spots refer to areas that are not covered by standard rearview mirrors. The driver cannot observe these areas through the normal rearview mirror, which may cause potential safety hazards, especially when changing lanes, overtaking or merging.

Characteristics of blind spot mirrors

Shape and size:

Usually a small round or oval shape, with a relatively small size (usually around 2-3 inches in diameter). Some are rectangular or fan-shaped, designed according to different needs and the shape of the vehicle's rearview mirror.

Mirror design: Blind spot mirrors are usually convex mirrors, which can expand the field of view and help the driver see a wider area.

Although convex mirrors expand the field of view, they also reduce the actual size of objects, and the driver needs to adapt to this change in sight distance.

Installation location: Generally installed on the exterior rearview mirror of the vehicle, usually the outer lower corner area of ​​the mirror, which can effectively expand the field of view without interfering with the normal rearview mirror line of sight.

Blind spot mirrors are fixed to the exterior rearview mirrors by sticking, which is easy to install and can be adjusted to get the best view.

Functions of blind spot mirrors
Eliminate blind spots: Blind spot mirrors can help drivers see areas that are usually blocked by standard exterior rearview mirrors, especially the blind spots on the sides and rear of the vehicle. With blind spot mirrors, drivers can have a clearer understanding of the situation behind the side when changing lanes, overtaking and merging, effectively avoiding accidents caused by blind spots.
Increase safety: The use of blind spot mirrors can significantly improve driving safety, especially when driving in dense urban traffic or on highways, and can reduce the potential risks caused by blind spots.
In narrow lanes or when parking, blind spot mirrors also help drivers better judge the distance to other vehicles or obstacles.
