How often should you check your mirrors?
You should check your mirrors every 8-10 seconds and when entering a road way, changing lanes etc. You should also have your mirrors adjusted properly so you do not have to look over your shoulder to check them. There is no blind spot on a car. Move your mirror out, you'll see more stuff. There is info online about how to adjust your mirror so you don't have a blind spot. Once you do that, scan them often. What is the point of a mirror if you don't use it? edit: The guy that originally posted this is not correct. You should indeed check your mirrors every 8-10 seconds to see everything happening around you but there is no way to adjust the mirrors to eliminate the blind spot. You need special mirrors to eliminate the blind spot.
How to Check Your Mirrors When You Are Driving?
For the learner driver there are so many new things to pick up and remember that you can easily forget to check your mirrors. Or perhaps you’ve gotten into bad habits over the years, and have forgotten on numerous occasions to check your interior and exterior mirrors and this has landed you in trouble. It needn’t be that difficult so here’s how you should go about conducting the checks: • Before setting off, make sure your mirrors are properly adjusted so it’s comfortable for you to check your surroundings without straining your neck. • Whilst driving with both hands still on the steering wheel and eyes still straight ahead casually glance at your interior mirror to check the view behind you keeping a steady speed. • If you are turning left then check your left exterior mirror first to look for anything that might be zipping up past you such as bicycles or motorbikes. • If you are turning right, then be sure to check your right exterior mirrors and then your left one before turning. • Once you’ve turned into the road you should always have a final check in your interior and exterior mirrors as the environment has just changed and there could be new hazards around you. Finally it’s important to keep your mirrors in good condition by cleaning them regularly, as the exterior mirrors can often get clogged up with dirt and/or spider webs. Always reposition your mirrors if someone else has been driving your car, as failing to do so could result in unnecessary road accidents. The most important thing to remember is to get into good habits, or replace existing bad habits with better mirror check practices. Thus rejoining the community of safe drivers and setting a good example for any learner drivers or people new on the roads.
