A Better Blind Spot Mirror

When you start driving you tend to get into certain habits that you are either taught or you learn over time. If you have ever gone to make a lane change and been blasted by the shaken motorist in your blind spot then you start to make changes to the way you might carry that out in future. This is also true if you happen to be that shaken motorist who is sitting in another vehicles blind spot when they try to make a lane change without seeing you. If you are lucky you wont have contributed to the countries statistics on lane change collisions. It seems that this is something that almost every motorist on our roads has trouble with and there have been few ways to get around it.

That was until the blind spot mirror was developed. You have probably seen them they are the fish eye or bubble mirrors that are common. These mirrors actually reduce the image in the mirror in size, and come with warnings like image may be closer than it appears. These mirrors are actually the cause of many of the lane change collisions as well. The problem is that drivers have to squint and strain to make out the object or vehicle int he reflection and then they have to try and accurately guess how far they are away from them in order to safely make the lane change.

It probably comes as no surprise that many of us are not great at guessing this distance very accurately. In fact many of the vehicles involved in lane change collisions have these types of mirrors fitted. That was when MaxiView blind spot mirrors came up with the most logical and effective designed blind spot mirror. MaxiView designed a mirror that enlarges images reflected by up to three times their actual size, allowing drivers ample time to determine if the lane change is safe or not.

A Change To The Way We Learn To Drive

When we take our first driving examination – for those of us that can remember back that far, you may recall your instructor asking you to check your blind spot before making any lane changes. The way that the instructor would have told you to do this would have been to get you to check both your rear view mirror, your side mirrors and then to look over your shoulder and physically ascertain that there is no one or no vehicle lurking in your blind spot.

One of the biggest problems with this type of instruction is that a driver who is learning to master both speed and steering has to take their eyes from the road and turn in their seat to check for other vehicles. This is surely a recipe for disaster, and if the statistics for collisions when changing lanes on our nations roads are any indication then indeed a disastrous instruction it is. There have been some products that were made available to remedy the blind spot issue but have left motorists on a whole, let down.

That was when MaxiView mirrors designed an innovative and effective solution to the problem of blind spots. The MaxiView mirror is the most adjustable stick on mirror in the world.

A More Effective Blind Spot Mirror

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.

A Small Investment In Safety

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.

Best Blind Spot Mirror On The Market

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.
