Dead angles are the points that you cannot see in the car’s side mirror or through the front window
The dead angle must be looked at in order to avoid a danger or a serious collision. The dead angle must be looked at in the following situations:
- When turning
- When exiting roundabouts
- In the parking lots
- When changing the drive field
- When starting from the side of the road
See the following picture:
The fields numbered 1 and 2 are the blind area or the area where you cannot see through the mirror or front windows
This means that if a car is next to your car, you cannot see it, and the sides of the road are also hidden
If there are bicycles or pedestrians, you cannot see them either or discover the dangers hidden from you.
An example of turning on the road
You must adjust your right and left mirrors, as well as the mirror in the middle, well.
You should also look at the dead angle in the following cases:
On the highway, if you want to change your lane to the left lane, look in your center and left mirror, and then the dead corner to make sure that there are no cars behind you or on your side, then give a left blink and move to the left lane.
On the highway, if you want to change your lane to the right lane, look in your center and right mirrors, and then the dead corner to make sure there are no cars behind you or on your side, then give a right blink and move to the right lane.
If you are inside the Rondel roundabout and want to exit, you must always look at the dead corner before you exit at point No. 1. Look at the dead corner. If your path is safe, give the right lever and exit from point No. 2 at the small arrow.
You have arrived at this intersection and want to turn right. In this case, there is a risk that there will be bikes coming from behind, and you cannot see them in the side mirror, and you must look at the dead corner before turning right.
When you are in a parking lot and want to get out of your place, you must look out the back window as well, just as is the case with the car shown in the picture. You must look and make sure that the road is clear of cars.
Your car is parked on the side of the road and you decide to drive it. You must look in your side mirror until you find out if there are cars coming, then you look at the dead corner, give the left indicator, and drive off calmly.
Looking at the dead corner is very important. This is done by turning the driver’s head completely to see what is hidden from him through the rear window.
He makes sure that there are no pedestrians, bicycles, or vehicles coming, thus avoiding a collision or accident that could have a dangerous result.
