Reducing Blind Spots - An Excellent Tip for Car Owners

The trick is in how one adjusts the side view mirrors of a car. You would think that it is way too simple to adjust the two side view mirrors. Yoou might even rhetorically ask, "Is there anybody who doesn't know how to do this simple thing !". Well, believe it or not, the correct answer is that most people don't!

Whether you own a brand new car or an old one, whether it is a U.S. made vehicle, or Japanese made, or German or Korean, adjusting the side view mirrors is actually quite simple but not the way you and I have been doing it.

If we did it properly, we would have significantly reduced the "blind-spot" area.

Watch the less than 2-minute video, learn the proper way to do it yourself, and then please teach others!
