With the use of MaxiView blind spot mirrors accidents involving children and pets behind and within the blind spot of the vehicle may be avoided.

Among the many things that lead to tragedies such as this is distracted driving. The driver might be busy texting or talking on their cell phone. Certainly, not all tragedies involve children in this instance but many other equally tragic events can include lane changing and aggressive driving. MaxiView blind spot mirrors can be fitted to any vehicles existing side mirrors and can offer drivers a greatly enhanced visual of what is around and to the rear and side of their vehicles.

Certainly, you may be a very cautious driver that does not use a cell phone and is not prone to aggressive driving.

Lane Changes -The Most Dangerous Move?

On many occasions as we travel around, we may find ourselves changing lanes too quickly without really checking the blind spot area properly. This can be a devastating price to pay for many motorists on our roads and it may come as no surprise that the lane change can be considered the most dangerous move to make when traveling. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a large number of vehicle collisions take place when motorists change lanes. These accidents often lead to death and grave injuries.

Many vehicles that are manufactured today are being rolled out with side mirrors stamped with a warning similar to: “objects may be closer than they appear” on the mirror. This serves as a warning to the drivers to be vigilant when making that important but rather dangerous lane change. This problem is further aggravated by the fact that, while using these side mirrors, the objects that the driver is trying best to avoid is reduced considerably in size to the degree that the driver may not even see them.
Certainly the blind spot is an important feature that must be catered for if we are to travel safely on the road. However, reducing the size of objects reflected in the blind spot mirror has caused more confusion and collisions than it has helped the matter. Thankfully, MaxiView blind spot mirrors have taken a logical approach to remedying this problem. MaxiView blind spot mirrors are an innovative design that enlarges the images reflected by up to three times their usual size.

The MaxiView blind spot mirrors come in an extremely adjustable 360 degree ball and socket design which will allow all drivers regardless of height or seating preferences to utilize the mirrors effectively.

The Blind Spot – Every Motorcycles Weakness

Motorcycles; due to being narrower than cars face a big threat on our highways and roads. Sometimes they may simply be completely unseen by other vehicles or truck drivers, leaving them open for collisions. Should you be a motorcyclist you will know that you have to be extremely cautious when traveling and take particular care not to get into another drivers blind spot.
One of the most dangerous situations that you can face as a motorcyclist is getting in a lane that is about to be taken over by a car or a truck. When you get in this area you may find that the other vehicles are not able to find you in their standard side mirrors. This can expose you to great danger, and those vehicles that don’t have special blind spot mirrors attached to their vehicles cannot be relied upon to physically check if you are there in their blind spot before merging.

Simple precautions can be made when traveling. Don’t tailgate, many motorists think that they will save gas mileage by being so close to a truck as it eliminates the air resistance, but beware; you are at the same time in the driver’s blind spot. Should this driver brake suddenly gas mileage will be the least of your worries.

Secondly, don’t travel in other vehicles blind spots. Trucks have a wider dead zone, so being anywhere near it will mean more danger to you. If the truck needs to change lane he won’t see you hanging back there, so if you are passing make sure to do so quickly.

It takes two to have a collision. Keep looking at the driver’s rear view mirror if you can’t see his faces then you are in his blind spot. Placing MaxiView blind spot mirrors on your motorcycle side mirrors will enhance your vision and allow you to make adjustments should you need to for other drivers actions.
