Can You Afford Not to Have a Blind Spot Mirror?

Any time we get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle – be it a car, motorcycle, bus, truck or motorhome we encounter a problem with our vision- the blind spot. Using the standard manufacturers side mirrors there have been attempts to remedy the problem by adding “special” mirrors to the driver’s side mirror that come with a range of warnings. You have no doubt read the warnings and you may have a mirror like this on your vehicle. The warnings generally state that objects are larger than they appear. When we think about how hazardous those mirrors actually are it is staggering that they have been implemented on vehicles at all.

Suddenly, the driver is required to become extremely accurate at estimating the true distance of the vehicle in their blind spot and hope that their estimations are accurate when making a seemingly simple maneuver such as a lane change. The blind spot mirrors that are built on to many vehicles on the roads reduce the size of the image that the driver is trying to avoid. What a ludicrous invention! Thankfully, MaxiView blind spot mirrors saw that the so-called solution to the problem was indeed just another problem as well and designed the most effective and efficient stick on blind spot mirror on the market.

These mirrors are easy to install and revolutionized the industry by making the reflected image up to three times larger than the actual size of the object. That means that drivers no longer have to squint and estimate how far away the other vehicle is to them. An enlarged image gives the driver ample time to decide if a lane change is safe or not. As the world’s most adjustable stick on mirror, all drivers – regardless of their height or seating positions can benefit from the ball and socket design of the MaxiView blind spot mirrors.

Being a Safer Motorcyclist on the Road

It is surprising to know that motorcyclists on our roads are generally very experienced and are well informed as to what the rules and regulations are when travelling on the road. Motorcycles, however, are more likely to be involved in a collision than a vehicle. So, what is at fault here? Could it be the vehicle in the majority of instances are at fault or is it the motorcyclist?
It is probably easier to answer by thinking about the way that motorcycles behave on the road. Many of them are prone to high acceleration and can weave in and out of traffic with far greater ease than passenger vehicles. These are fast and streamlined machines that can get the motorcyclist where they need to be in far less time than if they were in a vehicle.

The problem is that motorcycles can be difficult for drivers to see as they can accelerate seemingly from nowhere and overtake the vehicle. This can be a problem for both the driver and the rider as they have to determine what the other will do in this situation.

Cars that have MaxiView blind spot mirrors attached to their existing side mirrors are more able to see objects and vehicles such as motorcycles looming in their blind spot. MaxiView is the world’s most adjustable stick on mirror and enlarges objects that are reflected by up to 3 times their actual size. Motorcycles can alos have MaxiView blind spot mirrors attached to their side mirrors as well to enhance their vision when on the road. It is not always the motorcycle that is driving erratically; it can also be drivers of vehicles do not check their mirrors to see the motorcyclist in the lane next to them.

Blind Spot Mirrors Expose the Dangers on Our Roads

Safe driving entails one understanding the circumstances of the road you are traveling on and the knowledge of the location of other drivers. As you drive your car you might assume that your focus should only be at the front, or what you can see through the aid of the side mirrors. This though, neglects a very important area referred to as the blind spot.

This area known as the blind spot is the one that is impossible to see with the aid of the rear and the side mirrors. This therefore makes this area an extremely dangerous one to all the drivers. Every driver then should be aware of the blind spot so as to avoid accidents.

The blind spot is usually at the rear right and left sides of the vehicle not exposed by the side mirrors. The major blind spot is above the right shoulder of the driver, sandwiched between the perimeter of where the marginal visualization ends and the region up to the rear of the vehicle which isn’t observable by the use of side mirrors.

The blind spots will be varied in size depending on the vehicles height and size. This nightmare however can be done away with by fitting your vehicle with MaxiView blind spot mirrors which offer the ideal solution because the image they reflect is magnified as opposed to other blind spot mirrors on the market. This means that dangers on the roads can be significantly reduced when you install and use these innovative mirrors.

When you have MaxiView mirrors affixed to your side mirrors, you will not need to look over your shoulder to change lanes, meaning that you can focus on the road ahead and keep center of attention on what is going on to the sides.

Change Lanes with Confidence and Added Safety when Towing

Do you have the requirement to tow a boat, trailer or other object on our roads? If so, then you would know how difficult it can be sometimes to have to negotiate your way through traffic and especially on the motorways. Many times it can be difficult to see other vehicles behind you let alone try and determine if you have another vehicle in your blind spot.

Until now the solution to checking your blind spot has been limited to say the least. The choices were for the driver to check rear mirror, then side mirrors and then physically look over their shoulder at the area behind them while traveling at speed and in this instance while towing. Understandably this is a dangerous yet well used method of checking the blind spot.

The other option is to have a blind spot mirror attached similar to the bubble or fish eye ones that have been around for some time. These reduce the size of the object reflected and come with warnings that objects may be closer than they appear.

When you are towing the last thing you need to do is hope that your estimation of the vehicle in your blind spot is accurate when trying to change lanes. MaxiView saw the ridiculousness of these products and decided to come up with a logical and smart product that would enable drivers to have ample time to make a lane change decision.

As the world’s most adjustable stick on mirror the MaxiView blind spot mirror will enlarge the reflected object up to 3 times its actual size. Able to be adjusted to suit any driver, regardless of their height or seating position, the MaxiView blind spot mirror has a unique swivel lens that sticks in the upper right corner of the vehicles existing side mirrors.

The Most Dangerous Move To Make On Our Nation’s Highways

We are all most likely familiar with the vast number of highways and roads all over our country. It is little wonder that many of us are seen on these motorways and highways daily and that it is the most common method of getting to and from anywhere. When we consider the population and the number of vehicles that are on the roads it is no surprise to learn that we are more likely to injure ourselves or indeed die in a road collision than in any other mode of transport. When we break down the most common causes of road collisions one result keeps cropping up; lane changes are the most dangerous move a motorist can make on our highways. Why would this be the case?

When it comes to changing lanes we can all recall what our driving instructor told us to do when we are attempting to pull out into another lane. Check your rear view mirror, your side mirrors and then turn in your seat and check over your shoulder to ensure there is no one in your blind spot. Here is the danger. Shifting your position in your seat to physically check over your shoulder while traveling at speeds of up to 60 miles an hour is ludicrous!

Blind spot mirrors were manufactured to combat the problem but missed the mark when it came to effectiveness. These mirrors reduced the size of the image that was being reflected and so the driver then had to accurately estimate the distance the object was from them. Needless to say that many drivers’ estimation skills are not accurate as these blind spot mirrors have been responsible for causing more collisions than the absence of blind spot mirrors.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors change that by enlarging the reflected object in the mirror by up to three times its actual size. This allows the motorist ample time to make lane changing decisions and increases their vision of any objects in their blind spot.
