Do you have a problem with blind spots in your vehicle? Do you often find yourself being surprised by vehicles seemingly coming out of nowhere? Then you might need to do some adjusting and improving of your mirrors to make sure that those blind spots are totally eliminated.

One thing you can do is buy some aftermarket stick-on convex mirrors that are small enough to fit in the outer corners of your wing mirrors. Make sure your mirrors are clean and then stick the new ones on – make sure they are in the outer corners! Ensure they have adhered all the way and you’re all set.

The other thing you can do that involves less sticking-on of things is adjust your mirrors in a very specific way:

• 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!

Test that one out and see how you like it!
