Right from when we are taught how to drive we are told that the only true way to check for a vehicle lingering in our blind spot is top physically turn in our seat and look over our shoulder to see if there is a vehicle present. This seems like a safety hazard to many of the drivers on our roads and as a result lane changes where a vehicle collides with another are more common than any other vehicle collision on our roads. When asked how the collision occurred it is more often than not that the driver did not see the other vehicle in their blind spot. That is, they didn’t want to take their eyes from the road and did not have the proper tools to determine if there was a vehicle in their blind spot and subsequently had a collision.

There have been some products developed that have made little attempts to improve this situation for drivers but to little or no avail. The most common blind spot mirror on the market is a fish eye or bubble lens mirror. These reduce the size of the image and are usually sold with a warning such as image may be closer than it seems. This leaves drivers with the need to estimate how far away the vehicle actually is in order to make a decision as to the safety of the lane change. It comes as little surprise that the majority of drivers are not accurate in their estimation as the collisions from lane changes include a large number of vehicles that have these types of mirrors attached.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors do the exact opposite. They enlarge the image by up to three times it s actual size, enabling the driver plenty of time to accurately decide to the safety f the move. They also allow the driver to see what is behind them without the driver taking their eyes from the road, and they are the world most adjustable stick on mirror, which means that regardless of height or sitting position you are still able to gain optimum benefits from a MaxiView blind spot mirror.

When you decide that you want to change lanes when traveling on our nations highways there are a set of actions that you put in to place to determine the safety of the move. First you put you indicator on, then you check in your rear view mirror. If this is clear then you check your side mirrors and perhaps a cursory look over your shoulder and if you see nothing that could block you, you make the transition. This is the same set of actions that countless motorists carry out every day on our roads and yet the lane change collision still remains the leading cause of all highway collisions in our country. Why?

Well, when questioned after the accident drivers regularly answered that they simply did not see the other vehicle in their blind spot. As a result many vehicles were manufactured with a mirror that comes with the warning that objects may be closer than they appear. These mirrors are very similar to the bubble mirrors or fish eye stick on available. All of them reduce the size of the object and all of them have been evident in many of the lane change collisions. This has to indicate that they lack in effectiveness, right?

MaxiView mirrors believed so and as a result designed the most innovative and effective solution on the market today. As opposed to reducing the size of the object in the reflection, MaxiView actually increases the size by up to three times. This means drivers are given more time to gauge the safety of making a lane change. They are fully adjustable, so much so that there is not another stick on mirror in the world that is as adjustable as the MaxiView blind spot mirror – guaranteed! And retailing at less than $30 a pair you can be sure that this is small investment in your safety.

The vehicles of today all come with one feature that has changed very little since the first motor vehicle rolled off the production line. One of the major safety features of a vehicle has to do with its mirrors that enable the driver to see what is around their vehicle and make driving choices accordingly. The side mirror of today’s vehicles have changed externally but the mirror itself has undergone very little updating over time. It is a great oversight by the automotive industry to not have improved upon thins feature as it happens to be the cause of one of the most common daily collisions on our highways; the lane change.

This is why MaxiView blind spot mirrors decided to develop an effective and successful blind spot mirror to suit any car regardless of the make and model as well as suiting any driver regardless of their height or the position they sit in their drivers seat. MaxiView blind spot mirrors are the worlds most adjustable stick on blind spot mirror. That means that you can get full view of anything in your blind spot at all times while driving. Unlike the rather limited success of the current blind spot mirrors available that reduce the size of the object you are trying to avoid, MaxiView blind spot mirrors enlarge the image so that you can drive according to that vehicles proximity to yours.

With a unique patented ball and socket design the MaxiView blind spot mirror can be attached to your existing side mirrors in the upper corner. This is the area that would otherwise reflect only the sky, so you can be sure that your view ion your side mirrors are enhanced with the use of the stick on mirror. Retailing at less than $30 a pair, these blind spot mirrors can be removed from your vehicle and placed on another if you choose to swap cars at some stage.

Have you been traveling along in traffic on the highway and had someone just up a little further from you in the opposite lane put their indicator on and change lanes right into the path you are traveling? Perhaps you have been driving and checked your rear view mirror, put the indicator on, checked the side mirrors and started to move across and get a huge fright when the other vehicle you were about to run into blasts you with their horn? Most of us have been there, it is such a common occurrence on our roads and the main cause of collisions on our highways. But what is really going on here that we need to know about before we make that lane change?

The one answer that drivers involved in lane changes are most likely to offer is that they simply did not see the other driver there. The other vehicle was traveling in their blind spot and they went unnoticed until the collision occurred. How can nit be that you could miss something as big as another vehicle? It seems ridiculous that you couldn’t see something that huge, but it isn’t. All vehicles have blind spots. This means your car, truck, bus, motorcycle or van has a blind spot. The size of it, or the amount that can be “hidden” in your blind spot usually depends on the make and model of the vehicle.

MaxiView mirrors have the the most effective remedy for this problem. Instead of offering the bubble or fish eye mirror which is already available and is not proving overly effective, MaxiView took the opposite approach. MaxiView decided that estimating how far another vehicle was away from you was not conducive to safe driving. This is what the other mirrors will require of the driver as they reduce the size of the image in the mirror by up to eight times. MaxiView mirrors enlarge the image up to three times the actual size and therefore can enable the driver plenty of time to make that lane change.

Vehicle manufacturing has come a long way since the first one ever rolled off the blocks on the production line many years ago. The shape and the style of the vehicles on our roads today are far more conducive to travelling and our modern day needs. One of the interesting items that has not had much change in all of this time is the humble side mirror on our vehicles. It is an interesting item of safety that really should have been overhauled long ago, considering the danger that they can impose if they are not checked properly.

Making lane changes when driving on the highways is almost inevitable. It is this single action that provides the leading cause of collisions on our nations highways, so what are drivers doing wrong that lands them in so much trouble? It seems the blind spot is much to blame for this problem and the side mirror that is supposed to alert drivers to other objects and vehicles surrounding them is inadequate at doing so successfully. This has resulted in bubble or fish eye mirrors being produced. Some vehicle manufacturers also started to implement side mirrors that came with warnings that objects are closer than they seem. This has meant that drivers had to suddenly adapt to an image that was greatly reduced in size and then go on to accurately estimate the distance of the other vehicle to them in order to safely change lanes.

MaxiView mirrors have taken the guesswork out of the blind spot mirrors currently available. The other mirrors have had limited success due to drivers estimations being incorrect. MaxiView blind spot mirrors enlarge reflected objects alleviating the guesswork involved in distance. In fact by enlarging the images MaxiView blind spot mirrors actually provide the driver with more time to make a safe lane transition.

The blind spot is not like the black hole or the Bermuda triangle. It is an area that exists for all vehicles on our roads regardless of their shape, make or model. It is not a fictional area or place but it is rather an area that cannot be see without special mirrors to highlight this area. The current remedy to expose the objects in the blind spot have been largely unsuccessful. Objects in these mirrors are reduced significantly – sometimes up to eight times, and require that the driver accurately estimate the distance that the vastly smaller object is to them in order to make a safe lane change. It all sounds rather ridiculous when you think about it like that, doesn’t it? Reducing the size of the object you are trying to miss couldn’t seriously be the only option for drivers, surely?

MaxiView blind spot mirrors developed an innovative and effective blind spot mirror that re wrote the way that drivers would be able to locate objects in their blind spots. Regarded as the worlds most adjustable stick on mirror, the MaxiView blind spot mirror is attached to the upper corner of the existing vehicles mirrors in the space that would normally reflect the sky. Clearly, the sky has little to no bearing as to the safety of a lane merge, and therefore MaxiView mirrors enhance the rear view rather than inhibit it.

With the unique ball and socket design which is fully patented, MaxiView blind spot mirrors are suitable for the tallest of basket ball players and can easily be viewed by the most petite grandmother. They are easily applied and should you change vehicles at a later stage and want to take your MaxiView blind spot mirrors with you then you are able to remove them and adherer them to your next vehicle.
