Blind spots

I saw a TV AD today were the new Infinitis will come with a blind spot warning buzzer/light to let you know you have a car in your blind spot.

But I promise if you put them on you'll never want to take them off.

I not a fan of them but will try the square small ones.

I set my mirrors all the way out so I can barely see the side of the car. Going into the right lane, I look out the back window, and going to the left I just lean forward and look. With the mirrors set up that way, you should either see someone in your mirrors or when you check your blind spots. I have not come close to hitting any one yet (knock on wood).

I don't like the square ones. I use the little circle ones and place them in the outside bottom corner of the mirrors... work like a charm!

Hmmm..I didn't know that leaning forward was dorky That's what I do. Besides, it gives me a quick view of the other driver staring at my car as I make my lane change. All silliness aside..the blind spots were a bit scary at first but now, I don't even think about them!

When I first got the car, I almost got hit by a semi on the freeway. It came out from my right blind spot.

Now, I just need to get use to looking over my driver side mirror to watch for pedestrian crossing the street.

the mirror costs like $15...in 1997.
