Take your self back top a time when you were first learning to drive. You may be a teenager and taking your first series of lessons behind the wheel. This is an exciting time for many and one that is also fraught with danger. Your instructor would have advised you of all the steps that must be taken when performing different tasks in your vehicle. Some of these are for parking, reversing and one in particular that worries me still today is the changing of lanes when in traffic and on the highway.

You may recall the instruction being something along the lines of checking your rear vision mirror to see if there is anyone behind you, then assessing the view of your side mirrors. If both are clear then the next step is asked and this is supposedly the deciding factor to gauge the safety and success of a lane change; your instructor will ask you to look over your shoulder to see if there is another vehicle in your blind spot. That is the one piece of instruction that sends chills down my spine. How a driver who is classed as a beginner is supposed to maintain control of their vehicle while travelling at speeds of around 60 miles an hour AND looking over the shoulder is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

What can be done about this critical problem? We know that every vehicle that is on our roads suffers from a blind spot. This includes trucks, buses and motorcycles as well. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, the blind spot can vary in size, from a relatively narrow area to one that can hide an entire vehicle within it. How do we solve the problem of the blind spot? Because of the design of the vehicles on our roads, there will always be a blind spot, however the side mirrors that have changed very little in design over the years of producing motor vehicles can be enhanced to include a blind spot mirror. MaxiView blind spot mirrors are a stick on mirror that allows drivers to safely negotiate lane changes without taking their eyes from the road.

Touted as the worlds most adjustable stick on mirror the MaxiView blind spot mirror has a unique patented design. The 360 degree ball and swivel capabilities mean that the mirror can be adjusted to suit any drivers height and seating position in any vehicle. With the ball and swivel design, the range of vision is extraordinary, capable of lateral and side views of the car and able to be seen without the driver ever having to take their eyes from the road. The amazing adhesive bonding strip uses the same bonding material currently used during surgery in place of stitches. This means that your blind spot mirrors can withstand any punishment you dish out to them, and yet are still able to be removed by the MaxiView tool in order to attach them to your next vehicle.

I think if we had to rate the most ludicrous piece of instruction that any driver is given when they are first learning to drive, it would have to involve the directions given when performing a lane change. Think about it, the instructor will tell the driver to look in the rear view mirror and ascertain if there is a vehicle behind them. Then they are asked to visually check the side mirrors to check for clearance with any vehicles to the side of them. Next, they request the ridiculous. The instructor still to this day, will ask the driver – a learner with little to no experience on the open road, to turn in their seat, look over the shoulder and visually determine if there is any vehicle or object in their blind spot. All this while travelling at speed.

Then how do we combat this enormous problem and try to change the way that we drive on our nations roads to make it a safer place for all drivers, beginners and alike? Consider the design of the motor vehicle, all of them have a blind spot, in fact buses, trucks and motorcycles all have blind spots also. This makes for a huge number of vehicles on our roads that are incredibly dangerous when changing lanes. Depending on the make of the vehicle the size of the blind spot can be relatively narrow to quite significant where an entire vehicle could be hidden within it without your knowledge. Seems absurd doesn’t it? Now think about the side mirrors of your vehicle, and how equipped they are to combat this issue. You may not be surprised to know that irrespective of this enormous problem, the side mirror has changed very little in design and function since the first motor vehicle rolled off the production line. MaxiView blind spot mirrors has developed an answer to this critical issue and have designed the most adjustable stick on blind spot mirror in the world.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors developed what is considered the worlds most adjustable stick on blind spot mirror. This unique and fully patented design consists of a 360 degree ball with a swivel capability. This allows any driver, of any height to use the MaxiView blind spot mirror. The clever design of the ball and swivel means that the driver can have the maximum side and lateral views of what is behind and around their vehicle, and this is what makes MaxiView blind spot mirrors so unlike any of the other mirrors that are on the market today. No more will you have to turn in the seat and look over your shoulder to see if it is safe to change lanes, you don’t even have to take your eyes from the road in order to check for safe lane switching position. The fantastic stick on application uses an all weather optimum strength bonding strip that can put up with the most punishing of conditions. These mirrors can be removed only by using the great tool supplied by MaxiView. That means when you sell your vehicle you can take you blind spot mirrors with you and attach them securely again to your next car.

For around fifty years now, vehicle production has changed significantly with regards to efficiency, design and technology to power the vehicle. However, there has been one essential vehicle component that has been essentially ignored in all the advancement. The car side mirror and rear view mirror has remained relatively unchanged since the very early models of motor vehicle were produced. It seems that the automotive industry has turned a blind eye to the blind spot issues that are present with every vehicle manufactured. When we consider that the blind spot is the cause for more collisions on our roads resulting in injuries and fatalities, it seems unbelievable that this problem has been allowed to get to this point.

MaxiView mirrors offers a sensible and promising solution to the critical problem of blind spots in motor vehicles and motorcycles. The unique and fully patented design of the MaxiView Mirrors is able to provide a solution to blind spots regardless of the drivers height within the vehicle and regardless of vehicle type. Some vehicles have larger blind spot areas than others and the MaxiView Mirrors are able to uncover any otherwise hidden blind spot. When you purchase a vehicle today, or in fact purchasing a vehicle over the past thirty to forty years, you will note a few significant items when assessing the reflection in the side mirrors. The reflection simply discloses a small amount of what is actually, truly behind and beside your vehicle. On closer inspection it is clear that the sky makes up a large portion of reflection as well as the side of the vehicle along with the road that trails behind.

MaxiView saw this as the best opportunity to improve the safety of drivers on our roads and devised a rear view mirror that could easily expose the area of the blind spot, as well as allowing for maximum vision in the remaining part of the mirror. MaxiView blind spot mirrors are placed in the upper corner of the vehicles existing side mirrors in the area that only reflects the sky. Ask any driver and they will tell you that the sky is not a determining factor as to the safety of lane changing. You can be assured of the least degree of visual disruption in your side mirrors and actually gain vision by seeing who and what is in your blind spot.

When you place the unique adhesive blind spot mirror on to your existing vehicles side mirror you can be assured that there is more lateral and side adjustability that comes with the MaxiView blind spot mirrors than any other stick on mirror in the world. This means that you could be a NBA all star or a petite grandmother and still get the maximum benefit out of your blind spot mirrors regardless of your height. And purchasing the MaxiView Mirrors doesn’t mean that when you sell or trade your vehicle that you lose them with it. MaxiView offer a neat tool that will remove your blind spot mirrors and have them ready for you to attach to your next vehicle.

If you have ever been a witness to, or have been involved in a collision that involved a lane change then you are not alone. In fact, lane change collisions are the most likely type of collision to occur on our highways. If they are so common, what exactly is is that drivers are doing wrong when they get behind the wheel of their motor vehicle? What is sit that is claiming lives and causing injuries on so many occasions when drivers are travelling on the highway? First of all let’s take a look at the standard equipment used to make a lane change: the driver will use a rear vision mirror as well as their side mirrors and their indicator. What could possibly go wrong?

The true problem to this kind of incident is that you honestly did not see the other vehicle there. You would not be able to unless you took your eyes from the road for a moment, turned in your seat and glanced over your shoulder to determine as to whether there was any vehicle travelling in your blind spot. Taking your eyes from the road and turning to look behind you while driving an object at speed weighing a few ton does not sound like the safest thing to do if you ask me. Some of the options to fix the blind spot problem have been more of a hindrance and danger than they have been a help. You have probably seen the bubble or fish eye mirrors that are supposed to combat the problem of blind spots? They all come with manufacturer warnings that the objects are closer than they appear. I don’t know about you, but if I’m trying to avoid an object, why would you make it smaller for me to avoid?

MaxiView blind spot mirrors couldn’t be more opposite to the ineffective bubble and fish eye mirrors if they tried. For starters, MaxiView blind spot mirrors actually enlarge the object being reflected. The object appears around three times larger than it actually is which means that the driver will have maximum time to act and react when driving. That means if you have a vehicle in your blind spot that looks close then you know that its not time to make that change. It comes down to getting too much warning and when it comes to the safety of myself and those travelling in my vehicle I will choose too much warning over none any day!

MaxiView blind spot mirrors utilise the space on your existing side mirrors that is otherwise useless to you as a driver. They stick to the upper top of your side mirror, and this is the place that only reflects the sky. We all know that the sky has zero effect on the safety of lane changes so it can easily be sacrificed for the MaxiView blind spot mirror. The patented design means that you get to utilise the most adjustable stick on mirror in the world. Guaranteed. In fact, the 360 degree ball and swivel design means that the lateral and side to side vision that the driver can achieve is suitable to any driver and any drivers height.

For some time now, there has been a conundrum in the auto industry that has seen the standard side mirrors on vehicles unchanged. Taking into account that the side mirror designs today have differed little from the original design from decades past, it seems that massive opportunities for developing a better alternative to combat the blind spot has arisen. With the number of deaths and collisions on the roads due to lane changing issues at an all time high, surely something has to be done to fix this issue.

A creation called MaxiView Mirrors is the long awaited solution to this key topic. MaxiView uses a unique fully patented design pivotal in solving the issues that many drivers- and indeed vehicles suffer from, with regards to blind spots. Side view mirrors will barely illustrate a portion of what is truly behind and to the side of a vehicle. The image that is reflected is mostly of the vehicle you are within, plus the road straight behind as well as the sky. Undoubtedly, the sky is not a part in determining if it is safe to switch lanes. This is where MaxiView blind spot mirrors are placed in order to provide the slightest disruption to your vision and in order to ‘highlight’ every vehicle or object in your blind spot.

When attaching your pair of MaxiView blind spot mirrors to your existing side mirrors on your vehicle, you can rest assured that it is not a difficult task. Simply reading the instructions that come with the MaxiView blind spot mirrors will give you the best tips to securing them effectively. All MaxiView blind spot mirrors come with their own unique adhesive that will not damage the existing mirror should you decide to remove your blind spot mirrors at some point in future. If you do decide to remove your blind spot mirrors when you sell your vehicle, you can easily use the MaxiView tool to remove them, and know that they can be reapplied to your next vehicle once more.

Placement of the blind spot mirrors should be according to the instructions, and will have them fixed to the upper corner of the side mirror. This is where nothing of great importance to driving is reflected and is where the reflection of the sky can be seen. Now, any driver will tell you that the reflection of the sky does not have any influence over the ability to change lanes safely! Many fo the blind spot mirrors on the market can actually cause more harm than good. The image that is reflected by the MaxiView blind spot mirrors is enlarged by up to three times bigger than the object itself. Other blind spot mirrors on the market reduce the size of the object and come with warnings that objects may appear smaller than they are. This has meant that drivers have had to estimate how far away another vehicle or object is according to the small image being reflected. This has caused confusion and collisions with many drivers incorrectly estimating their ability to safely change lanes. MaxiView blind spot mirrors make lane changes much safer for the driver.

Thinking back to when you first started taking driving lessons, do you recall your instructor requesting that in order to switch lanes that you ought to check your rear view mirror, then check your side mirrors and then if clear, turn within your seat and look over your shoulder to ascertain if there was anyone in your blind spot? I must admit that I am still astounded that even today the same instruction exists. I can only imagine the risk that a driver, especially a learning driver, puts them self at when taking their eyes from the road to shift weight in their seat and look behind them all travelling at 60 miles an hour.

So what is the solution to this crazy piece of instruction? Well, establishing if there is a vehicle in the blind spot has been a challenge for many years regardless of the vehicle that you drive. All vehicles have a blind spot and depending on the make and model of the vehicle, some blind spots are worst than others. Trucks and motorcycles also have blind spots. So how do we solve this problem? Up until now there has been a very limited degree of successful mirrors that have been able to easily identify the object within the blind spot. MaxiView blind spot mirrors however, have developed a stick on blind spot mirror that has easily and safely enabled drivers to ascertain what is in their blind spot and act accordingly.

The MaxiView blind spot mirror has a unique and fully patented 360 degree ball and swivel, which means that it can be adjusted and placed to suit any driver regardless of their height and seating position within the drivers seat. The design of the ball and swivel designed by MaxiView enable the most possible lateral and side view of your vehicle in order to expose anything that may be hidden away in your blind spot. There is absolutely no other stick on mirror in the world that offers this much flexibility and adjustment. What this means is that the driver will no longer have to turn their body and take their eyes from the road when checking for anything in their blind spot. With the MaxiView blind spot mirrors the driver is able to remain looking straight ahead and yet have full view of what is going on around and to the rear of their vehicle.

Attaching your MaxiView blind spot mirrors to your existing side mirrors on your vehicle is simple and straightforward. The super adhesive bonding material used is the same that surgeons use in replace of stitches today. This means your blind spot mirrors can put up with the worst of weather extremes and still go to work for you to provide the safest driving experience for your vehicle. The 360 degree ball and swivel technology means that the driver can get the most lateral and side vision of the rear and side of their vehicle without having to take their eyes from the road. No more turning in your seat to see if anyone is in the blind spot when you have MaxiView blind spot mirrors.
