Do you suffer from blind spots in your vehicle? Sometimes it’s a burden we all have – but did you know there are some quick and easy ways to completely eliminate your blind spots for good? Sure, it does involve careful driving and making sure to look in your mirrors when you’re changing lanes or backing up… but you should be doing that all the time anyway. Check out our two tips for getting rid of your blind spots once and for all!

The first tip is the easiest. Get a couple of aftermarket stick-on convex mirrors and stick them to the outer corners of your side mirrors. They help you see pretty much everything around your vehicle, eliminating rear blind spots.

If you don’t want to spend money, adjust your mirrors. There’s a trick to it. Here are the steps:

 

  • Adjust your rearview mirror to give you a view directly to the rear. Make it so that it best covers your rear window view. Don’t tilt it to get side views – just straight back through your window.

  • Lean your head until it almost touches your driver’s side window. Adjust your left side mirror so you can just barely see the side of your car – no more.

  • Lean your head to the passenger side as far as you can comfortably while still sitting up and adjust the right mirror so you can barely see the right side of your car.

  • You shouldn’t be able to see the side of your car when your head is all the way upright!
