Does Really Blind Spot Mirrors Show Your Blind Spots?

Hi Dear Reader,

We experience that we meet you with this first post. We wish you have a nice week.
Today's post is about blind spot mirrors and whether they are useful or not.
When someone mention blind spot mirrors, probably the first comes in your mind a blind spot mirrors which are sticked on the exterior rearview mirror (side mirror) and which are small mirrors. I share a photo for ones who can't remember:

I try to tell shortly whether they are really effective or not. I tell item by item in order to be more clear.
1. Littleness Problematic:
What does littleness problematic? Let me brief, but before, I need to explain blind spots. Blind spot mirrors' goal is providing drivers to see blind spot. In order to remove the blind spots, there are many techniques. Each mirror tries to remove blind spots by showing all areas; but it is impossible because it has to force objects into the screen (mirror glass). This means objects will be smaller than what they appear.
Thes blind spot mirror normally is small. Just imagine a water bottle cover. Now imagine it on your side mirrors. Then think about that this mirror claim it will remove blind spots. Do you believe it?
2. Photography Problematic:
After reading previous item, if you think "there is no problem, it looks good", you are wrong. Normally this type photography is a technique in order to cheat you. Everyone who drive vehicles and don't drive know that driver's eye level is not like what is seen on the photo. Normal eye level is upper and more behind than the one on photo. İmage that you look this photo upper and more behind. Still do you think this mirrors will helpful?
3. "Is this a really blind spot mirror?" Problematic:
For the last time, let us interpret by using this photo. If they didn't put the little and small mirror on the side mirror, we would have seen white truck clearer than what is seen on the photo. In addition, it can't show the white truck completely; it loses some parts of truck. It is really hard to describe this mirror as a blind spot mirrors.
We think it will be wrong by using one photo and we decide that we support our opinions by using different photos.We think you will find the problems on the photos below. Here you are:




Well, are all blind spot mirrors like that? Of course NOT! Mirrors like that mostly are produced in China, Taiwan etc. They are mainly produced under the counter. However there are still several producers who care blind spots. One them is MOTAYSAN Rearview Mirror.Motaysan desings and produces 10-20 various models in a year. They are expert of blind spots. They also listen their customers always and after evaluating positive and negative critics, they improve their mirrors always.
Firstly, they presented the first instructor mirror in 2016 January. After becoming more popular in a short time, Motaysan have developed this model and made it more useful and more universal. Now cars, trucks, busses, light commercial vehicles can use this model. So let's take a look at this Gözcü Mirrors together. You will understand what the real blind spot mirror is.
We thank you all and wish you have a great week.

How to Set Your Rearview Mirror In Order To Reduce Blind Spot?

Hi dear Readers,

Today I read an article about eliminating blind spot. They explain the method in 6 steps. It is a very good method. I appreciate them. However there is no need those steps. Why? Before explaining why, please let me share that article with you.

How to Set Rear‐View Mirrors to Eliminate Blind Spots

Edited by Josh Hannah, Bob Palin, Chris Kratsch, Barry Gaynor and 19 others

It may surprise you to learn that there is a better way to set the rearview mirrors on your car. The quick test: if you look in your side mirrors and you see the side of the car, then you're not using the mirror's capacity! Essentially, most people have a huge overlap between the center and side rearview mirrors, which is unnecessary. By spreading your side mirrors you lose no information about what's behind you, but gain valuable insight into what's beside you.

Steps

1

Lean your head over until it almost touches the driver's window, and then position the side mirror on the car's left side so you can just see the rear quarterpanel (the rear end of the car) in the mirror. Note this will have it positioned farther out than you probably had it before. 

2

Lean your head to the right to align it with the center of the car, for example, just between the 2 front seats, at your normal height. From there, position the right side mirror so you can just see the rear quarterpanel of the passenger side in the mirror. 

3

Adjust the center rearview mirror to place it facing the center of the rear window.

4

While driving note that a car passing you begins in the center of your rearview mirror. As it approaches you, it moves to the side of your center rear view mirror, and at the same time appears in your side mirror. This shows you that there is no rear blind spot, because there is an overlap between the mirrors.

5

Also note that your side mirrors now capture a tremendous additional amount of information about what is in the lanes right next to your car. Previously you would have to turn your head to ensure nothing was in the lanes beside your car before changing lanes. Now, your side mirrors do a much better job of covering this blind spot on the sides.
