Driving a car, or getting run over by one, is still one of the most popular ways to get killed in the modern world. Despite the fact that cars are safer than ever, they are still driven by human beings who, let’s face it, often have trouble retaining even the minimal techniques and rules required to operate a vehicle.

#6. Don’t Have Your Car Visible Anywhere in Your Mirrors

This is one of those things that takes next to zero effort to do right, but that almost everyone does wrong.

You hopefully already know that the “blind spot” is the name for the area on either side of a car that is invisible to wing mirrors. It’s such a frequent cause of accidents that higher-end car models have adopted fancy radar or camera systems capable of detecting other vehicles in your blind spots and delivering the information to you in furiously urgent beep-screams as you swerve in terror and/or crash anyway.

Just gritting your teeth and flooring it isn’t the answer.

However, the technology isn’t the problem — the necessary equipment to eliminate blind spots was around back when Henry Ford was still producing cars and anti-Semitic newsletters. All you need are your car’s wing mirrors — which most people have adjusted incorrectly.

You see, blind spots can be put into full view of your side mirrors, provided that these mirrors are adjusted to contain no part of your own car. Just angle them away from you until the point where your car is no longer visible in either one, and leave them there. That way, there’s no overlap between them and the rearview mirror, and any car that’s passing you on either side will remain in at least one of your mirrors until it enters your field of vision.

  • absolutely true… But here in Malaysia especially in the city, you have to set the side mirrors until the point where only a little part of your car visible, just to make sure before you change lane, you can see those inconsiderate motorist speeding from behind.
