Blind spots are the areas to the sides and rear of your vehicle that you can’t see with your mirrors alone. They’re located at the back left and back right corners of the vehicle. This happens because side mirrors are angled to show traffic behind and to the sides, but a wedge behind the vehicle isn’t visible without turning your head. That’s why it’s important to do a quick over-your-shoulder check when changing lanes, in addition to using your mirrors. The space in front of you or directly under the doors is not considered a blind spot, and the area directly behind the trunk is generally covered by the rear window and mirrors, though some vehicles may have more limited rear visibility.
