The blind spot is a problem that has been evident in the automotive industry since the first vehicle rolled off the production line. It has to do with the angle of the mirror and the shape of the vehicle and what can be reflected in the mirror used. Certainly little has changed when it comes to the side mirrors of the first vehicles compared to today’s latest vehicles. Regardless of what you drive, be it a truck,bus, car, motorcycle or van you will have a blind spot of some degree in each of these. The size of the blind spot will vary dependant mostly on make and model but nearly all can “hide” another vehicle in it of the same size or larger than the vehicle you are travelling in.

Think about how we are taught to drive. We are taught to check our blind spot by turning in our seat and physically checking over our shoulders to see if there is a vehicle lurking back there in the blind spot. Now, think about the action of the lane change. It generally involves an increase in speed and to ascertain the safety of the merge we have to take our eyes from the road and look behind us. It doesn’t make sense on so many levels does it?

MaxiView blind spot mirrors didn’t think so either. That was why they developed a better and more successful answer to the current blind spot mirrors. You see, the only available answer to the blindspot has come in the form of a mirror that not only reduced the size of the reflected image so the driver really had to squint and strain to see what was being reflected, but it also meant that the driver had to accurately judge how far away the other vehicle is ion order to switch lanes safely. MaxiView took the more logical approach and enlarged the image reflected by up to three times. This gives drivers ample time to ascertain the safety of the move.

All vehicles have a blind spot. This is the area that sits to the rear and side of your vehicle that cannot be seen in your side and rear mirrors. Trucks, buses and motorcycles also have blind spots and the make and model of the vehicle is often a determinant as to the degree of blind spot found. Some vehicle manufacturers decided that to combat the ever growing problem of blind spot collisions that they would manufacture vehicles that have a side mirror with a special lens that holds a warning many of us have seen before. The warning usually says that images may be closer than they seem.

Mirrors that reduce the size of an object or vehicle in the blind spot have a very limited success rate. This is mainly because it relies on the driver accurately guessing how far away the other vehicle is in order to make a safe lane change or not. When we take a look at the vehicles that have all been involved in lane change collisions on the highways around the country they often include vehicles where these mirrors have been fitted.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors developed the most logical answer to the problem and have patented the design and offer it to all motorists. The MaxiView blind spot mirror actually enlarges objects that are reflected to be three times bigger than they actually are. This means that der4ivers have more than adequate time to gauge if a lane change would be safe or not. These mirrors are stick on and are applied to the upper corner of the existing side mirrors in the place that would otherwise reflect the sky. Understandably this is not needed in order to make a lane change and can be sacrificed without further sacrificing any of the other mirror space.

If you have seen the blind spots mirrors that are available on today’s market then you will no doubt have seen the bubble or fish eye mirrors, and you may have seen the side mirrors that have the warnings saying objects may appear closer than they are. The reason these mirrors come with warnings is because they reduce the size of the objects by up to eight times their actual size in the reflection. The idea behind these mirrors is to give the driver all the view they could need in order to make a decision as to the safety of a lane change.

Unfortunately these mirrors rely mainly ion the accuracy of the driver to estimate the distance of the vehicle behind them in their blind spot. Considering that lane change collisions are the leading cause of collisions on our roads then we can see that this is not a very accurate way of gauging driver safety. MaxiView mirrors developed the most innovative blind spot mirror on the market today. They changed the way that blind spot mirrors work by enlarging the reflected image by up to three times the actual size. This negates the need for the driver to accurately estimate the distance that a vehicle is in order to make the lane change as it gives them more than enough time to ascertain the safety in distance of the vehicle behind.

As the most adjustable stick on mirror in the world – guaranteed, MaxiView blind spot mirrors are an effective and economical way to ensure your absolute safety on the roads. They are able to be removed should you want to place them on another vehicle and they can be adjusted so that any driver of any height can effectively use them. Retailing at less than $30 a pair, the MaxiView blind spot mirrors are an essential safety item for your vehicle.

When we take to our highways we do so largely at our own risk. We know that we will need to maybe make a couple of lane changes when on the highway and you may be surprised to learn that this is where many of the nations daily collisions occur and they are largely due to one leading factor. You see when we learn to drive our instructor asks us to go through a check list of actions that we must perform in order to make a successful and safe lane change. This is usually to place the indicator on, check in the rear mirror, then check side mirrors, if it seems clear then we are asked to check over our shoulder by taking our eyes from the road and physically turning in our seats to confirm no vehicles are in our blind spot.

This last action is fraught with danger, and when we add the fact that a lane change usually also involves an increase in speed it is little wonder that this is where many drivers come unstuck. One of the remedies to this problem was the development of blind spot mirrors. These were fish eye or bubble mirrors and are still used on many of the nations vehicles. Another option was the side mirrors that the manufacturers included with their vehicles that reduced the image of the object being reflected. You may have seen the warning on these side mirrors stating that objects may be closer than they seem.

Neither of those remedies have been overly successful and we know this due to the number of lane change collisions where in fact these mirrors have been installed. MaxiView blind spot mirrors were developed to fix the problem of the blind spot for good. Instead of reducing the size of the image, MaxiView blind spot mirrors enlarge it by up to three times. With their patented unique ball and socket design these are the most adjustable stick on mirrors in the world.

Check out the side mirrors of the vehicles that you encounter when driving next. Some of them may be fitted with the bubble or fish eye type blind spot mirrors that have been on the market for some time now. Others may have the manufacturers installed blind spot mirrors that reduce the images size by around eight times. These mirrors usually always come with the warning that objects may appear smaller than they are. These are the mirrors that have been on the market trying to combat an issue that all vehicles regardless of size and model has; the blind spot.

The problem with these side mirrors is that they provide more problems than they solve. When an image is reduced in size in the reflection the driver must estimate accurately the distance between their vehicle and the oncoming vehicle. This can be fraught with danger, as it depends on an accurate estimation. This just did not make sense to many drivers and it is interesting to note that many vehicles that are involved in lane change collisions have these mirrors installed. This implies their lack of effectiveness, and the drivers lack of ability to accurately estimate.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors have taken a far more logical approach to the blind spot. Instead of reducing the images size that is reflected, MaxiView enlarges it by up to three times. This means that the driver has ample time to ascertain the safety of the lane change and does not need to squint to see the image reflected. As the most adjustable stick on blind spot mirror in the world, MaxiView mirrors are attached to the upper corner of the existing side mirrors in the place that would normally reflect the sky. This improves the drivers vision rather than impairing it, and at less than $30 a pair the MaxiView blind spot mirrors represent a very economical investment in safety.

Having the safest vehicle possible on the road comes down to two attachments that can fit to your vehicle today and can mean the difference between making the most common mistake made when changing lanes, and causing a collision. You may have been involved in a collision like this or you may have seen it happen. Truth is, this is such a common occurrence it generally goes without mention today. It involves the lane change. The number of drivers that unsuccessfully make a lane change and collide with the vehicle in the lane they are changing to is enormous. This happens to be the leading cause of collisions on our roads. It is almost always due to the fact that there was a vehicle traveling in the other vehicles blind spot and they were simply not seen by the driver wishing to make the lane change.

Fixing this problem has been rather limited up until now. Other manufacturers came up with a mirror that resembles a bubble or a fish eye. What made these mirrors more of a hindrance than a help was that they reduced the size of the object the driver is trying to dodge. How this could have ever been seen as a viable solution begs wondering. Other vehicle manufacturers came up with the idea of inserting a new type of mirror in the side mirrors which also reduced the image size and came with warnings that objects may be closer than they seem. Again, less than successful on many levels.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors have the most logical and successful option for solving the issue of the blind spot. Instead of reducing the size of the image it actually enlarges it. This gives the driver ample time to judge the safety of a lane change. It is a fully adjustable ball and socket design that suits all drivers irrespective of their height. In fact, MaxiView blind spot mirrors are the most adjustable stick on mirror in the world.

BLAST! That was a close one, and the vehicle next to you with the irate driver cursing at you is doing so out of fear of the fact that you only just missed hitting them when you went for the lane change. It happens all the time on our roads, day in and day out. In fact the most common cause of collisions on our highways is due to lane changes that were poorly times. When these drivers were quizzed as to why they made a lane change when it was unsafe the answer was resoundingly similar. They simply had not seen the other vehicle in their blind spot.

A blind spot is an area on the vehicle that can “hide” an entire vehicle within it. It is the area that sits to the rear and side of the vehicle, and this includes trucks, buses, vans, and motorcycles. Jut how big the blind spot is depends on things like the drivers position in their seat as well as the make and model of the vehicle. There is one way to over come the blind spot however and it comes in the form of a stick on mirror by MaxiView.

Unlike other far less successful blind spot mirrors that are currently on the market, MaxiView blind spot mirrors provide the driver with a reflected image that is three times larger than the actual object. This allows the driver plenty of time to ascertain the safety of the lane change. MaxiView mirrors are applied to the upper corner of the existing side mirrors where the sky is usually reflected. This means that the drivers view is in no way impaired and is in fact improved greatly. Considering the amazing safety aspects of the MaxiView blind spot mirrors it is refreshing to learn that they are very reasonably priced at less than $30 a pair and can be placed on any vehicle regardless of the make.
