Blind spots are dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users because these area of the road are outside the driver’s field of vision. Although many new vehicles have safety features such as Blind Spot Monitor that help alert drivers that someone or something is in your blind spot. However, this helpful feature is not in every trim level of your favorite vehicle. Also if you have an older vehicle you will probably not have the helpful safety feature. But it is important to make sure that even without this technology we are taking the right precautions to prevent blind spot accidents. In this week’s blog, we wanted to help out any driver that might struggle with blinds spots and doesn’t have this technology. Even if your vehicle has this technology it is important to always check yourself, so we suggest taking a look at the tips below the top.

King Volkswagen's Tips To Avoid Blind Spots: Pedestrians and Blind Spots: Avoid being in a vehicle's blind spot, especially trucks and buses. Make eye contact with the driver. Otherwise, assume the driver cannot see you. Be alert at intersections, even when you have the right of way, e.g. on a green light or pedestrian crossing signal. Pay attention to the turn signal lights used by vehicles at intersections. Do not cross behind a vehicle as it could back up without noticing you. Be visible: wear bright clothing, reflective strips, etc. If you are trying to make your presence known, keep in mind that the driver cannot hear you.
