Do you have blind spots when you’re driving? Not in your vision (though if you do, I’d go to an eye doctor ASAP) but in your vehicle. If you have a problem where other vehicles just appear next to you when you’re trying to shift lanes, or you know there’s someone behind you but you just can’t see them, well, then you’ve got blind spots. Here are some great ways to fix that problem fast and easily!

One way is to get a couple of stick-on convex mirrors that will fit in the outer corners of your side mirrors. Stick them on, make sure they’re attached firmly, and voilà! You’ve got a really good view of everything at the side of your vehicle.

The other way that doesn’t involve, you know, attaching something to your mirrors, is to adjust your mirrors. Here’s how:

  1. Adjust your rearview mirror to give you a view directly to the rear. Make it so that it best covers your rear window view. Don’t tilt it to get side views – just straight back through your window.

  2. Lean your head until it almost touches your driver’s side window. Adjust your left side mirror so you can just barely see the side of your car – no more.

  3. Lean your head to the passenger side as far as you can comfortably while still sitting up and adjust the right mirror so you can barely see the right side of your car.

  4. You shouldn’t be able to see the side of your car when your head is all the way upright!
