Category: Blind Spot Mirrors

Vehicles on today’s highways and roads have a large disadvantage that many of us have grown to accept. We need not accept this major fault with vehicle manufacturing, however,m and for the safety of ourselves and others on the roads something must be done about it. The fault I am referring to is the side mirrors that are fitted to every vehicle on the road, the bus, truck, van and motorcycle as well as the car all have to have side mirrors fitted to them as a matter of law. The problem with today’s vehicles as well as the problem that they have faced since the first motor car rolled off the production line is that the side mirror does not highlight the blind spot.

A blind spot is an area that sits at the rear and side of the vehicle where the driver is unable to see an objector indeed another vehicle that is “hidden” in this area. The size of the blind spot varies according to the make and model of the vehicle but can easily fit another vehicle in there of the same size as the one being traveled in. Some attempts at remedying this issue came in the form of bubble and fish mirrors which work on the same principal as the side mirrors that we have seen recently that come with the warning that objects are closer than they appear.

These mirrors are highly ineffective as they reduce the image that you are trying to avoid. It does not make logical sense, and that is when MaxiView blind spot mirrors stepped up to the plate and developed a blind spot mirror to revolutionize the vehicle safety industry. Instead of reducing the reflected images size, MaxiView blind spot mirrors enlarge the object, leaving little doubt in the drivers mind that the vehicle needs to be avoided.

The blind spot is an area that sits behind and to the back of your vehicle. All vehicles have one and they are even evident on motorcycles and trucks and buses. The size of the blind spot can vary according to the vehicle make and model and can generally “hide” an entire motor vehicle. It comes as little surprise to most of us who travel on our nations highways that lane changing is the leading cause of collisions of vehicles every year. When the drivers a were questioned after the collision as to how the accident occurred, the majority answered that they simply did not see the vehicle in their blind spot.

As if this was not enough of a wake up call to the automotive safety industry, the blind spot mirrors that have been available up until now have done little to remedy the problem and in fact have gone to further exacerbate it in some instances. The bubble or fish lens mirrors that have been installed on many vehicles have been the cause of many lane changing accident s. These mirror reflect a shrunken image of the vehicle or object in the blind spot. It is up to the driver to estimate (accurately) how far away the vehicle is based on the miniaturised version of it.

MaxiView mirrors saw the major inconsistencies with this design and set about developing an innovative and remarkable solution to blind spot mirrors. They have developed the worlds most adjustable mirror that can be stuck on to any vehicles existing side mirrors. They can be viewed by any driver regardless of their height or seating position. Plus, the image that is reflected in the MaxiView blind spot mirror is enlarged by up to 3 times its regular size, giving drivers adequate time to determine safety of their lane change. At less than $30 a pair they make perfect sense to add to your vehicles safety aspect.

How many times have you been driving along, singing away to the songs on the radio or listening intently to the talk back station. Your mind is on what is coming from the speakers, and your eyes are on the road ahead. The car in front of you keeps slowing down for no apparent reason and after trailing behind it for the last couple of miles you have had enough of their driving and decide to pull out and switch lanes. Still with your eyes on the vehicle in front you casually check your rear vision mirror, clear. Then you check your side mirrors for anything in the lane next to you and verify that is clear as well. Putting on your indicator you merge your vehicle to the lane next to you and BAM! You don’t know what happened, where did that vehicle come from? When you checked there was no one there and you were clear to merge. The other vehicle was travelling in your vehicles blind spot and unless you took your eyes from the road to look over your shoulder or lean forward to check as much of the side mirror reflection you would not have seen them.

That was the reason that MaxiView blind spot mirrors were created. The mirrors that were on the market were inept and keeping the driver and their passengers safe. They merely reduced the size of the objects in the mirror and made it then a task for the driver to accurately estimate how far away the actual vehicle was from them. This estimate could often be inaccurate and so the number of lane changing collisions were not reduced significantly enough to call those other mirrors successful. However, MaxiView blind spot mirrors decided to reflect the image in the mirror up to three times the actual size of the object. This gives the driver more than enough time to make a decision as to whether it is safe enough to make that lane change.

We have all been there, driving along the highway, minding our own business. You probably are singing along to the radio, or thinking about your week at work and what you have got to get done. You get caught behind some driver who is doing less than the speed limit and they are slowing you down. Checking your rear vision mirror, and then your side mirror you flick on your indicator and make the switch to the next lane. Suddenly, screeching and horns blaring and an irate driver in the next vehicle is swearing and cursing you. What happened? You seriously did not see them there, it was purely and simply an accident because you honestly did not know they were next to you. The reason for this is because they were sitting in your vehicles blind spot. Unless you took the time to turn in your seat, taking your eyes from the road in front of you and check behind, you would not have seen that other vehicle. Sounds crazy doesn’t it?

Thankfully there is a simple solution to this road hazard. MaxiView blind spot mirrors were developed to combat this precise danger. Most of the blind spot mirrors on the market reduce the size of the object that is reflected, you may have read their warnings on the mirrors; Warning objects may be closer than they seem. How is a driver supposed to gauge how far away another object is accurately? MaxiView blind spot mirrors realised this is an estimate that can be inaccurate and just not worth the risk to lives on the road. That’s why they developed the worlds most adjustable stick on blind spot mirror. Not only is the driver able to see everything within their blind spot, the MaxiView blind spot mirror enlarges the image by up to three times their regular size, giving the driver loads of time to make a decision based on the safety for the lane change.

The automotive industry has certainly come a long way since the first motor vehicle rolled off the production line. The shape, efficiency and comforts of the vehicle of today is a far cry from what it was when my grandfather was a boy. The one component to the vehicle that just hasn’t seen a lot of change or improvement however is the side mirrors. In fact, the side mirror and what it doesn’t do is the leading cause of collisions and accident s on our motor ways every year. The side mirror is ill-equipped to expose the objects and other vehicles that are in the blind spot.

All vehicle have a blind spot. That means any truck, motorcycle or car that is on our road today has a potentially fatal defect. It almost seems that the motor vehicle industry has turned a blind eye to the blind spot. The mirrors that have been developed to help combat this problem all come with warnings, you have probably seen them: Warning – objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. What use is it to a driver if the object is further away from them? This means that the driver has to estimate and virtually guess the distance between a vehicle or object in their blind spot and them. Quite obviously this has not been a successful design as we are still seeing a noteworthy number of injuries and deaths even when these mirrors are fitted.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors have developed the worlds most adjustable stick on mirror. It sits in the top corner of the vehicles existing side mirrors where the only thing that is reflected is the sky. This means that the driver does not compromise on any loss of vision. Objects are increased by three times to give the driver tons of time to make a lane change, without the hassle of turning in the seat, looking over the shoulder or just hoping for the best.

No doubt you have been on the highway when driving your vehicle and you have been happily or absent mindedly cruising along. You make a decision to change lanes because there’s a vehicle not far in front of you that is doing substantially less than the speed limit, and you don’t want to be caught behind them. Putting on your indicator, you check your side mirrors and out you pull into the next lane. Suddenly you are blasted violently by a horn from a driver behind you. You just didn’t see them there. This is such a common occurrence on our roads and the driver is completely correct in believing they didn’t see the other vehicle there. Want to know why? Because the other vehicle was in their blind spot. Unless you take the time to turn and check over your shoulder to ascertain if there is anyone behind you, you are not going to ever see the vehicle in your blind spot. Now that sounds to me like a recipe for disaster.

MaxiView blind spot mirrors are the solution to these types of errors in judgement and collisions. When they developed the most adjustable stick on mirror in the world, MaxiView did so with the goal of reducing the number of collisions on our roads. Most blind spot mirrors will reduce the size of the object being reflected and that’s why they come with the warning that objects may appear closer than they seem. Why should a motorist have to calculate and estimate the distance between them and the other vehicle and then hope their estimations are right in order to safely change lanes? MaxiView blind spot mirrors take the guess work out of the lane change. Their mirrors will enlarge the object to three times its actual size, giving the driver ample time to make the decision to lane change or not.

If you have a side mirror on your vehicle that states that objects may be closer than they appear then you have one of the not so great blind spot mirrors available. Perhaps you have a bubble mirror ore a fish eye mirror that is supposed to help identify objects within the blind spot attached to your vehicle or you have seen other vehicles with it? Whatever the case, if you are familiar with these kinds of blind spot mirrors then you may not know just how difficult they are to use and how there is a much better solution to the blind spot mirror. All vehicles have a blind spot, that means every car,truck, bus and motorcycle on the road has a blind spot where the driver may not be able to see an entire vehicle lurking in there.

Other mirrors can be troublesome for the driver as they reduce the size of the object that they are trying to avoid. This means that the driver not only has to strain to actually see what the object is, but they also have to carefully estimate the distance that is between them and this greatly reduced image. MaxiView blind spot mirrors enlarge the object up to three times the actual size, allowing the driver ample reaction time to choose to say, change lanes. With a fully patented 360 degree ball and swivel design the MaxiView blind spot mirror is able to accommodate any driver regardless of their height. Sitting in the top corner of the existing side mirror, your MaxiView mirror will not impede any other vision that is needed. Fully guaranteed, this blind spot mirror will put up with the most punishing weather conditions and can be removed and placed on your next vehicle with a minimum of fuss. At less than $30 a pair, all vehicle in the family should be fitted with MaxiView blind spot mirrors
