Blind spots when driving are the areas around a vehicle that the driver cannot see either while facing forwards or by checking their mirrors. Typically, the blind spots are located to the rear left and right of a vehicle. Larger vehicles, such as lorries, have much wider blind spots than smaller vehicles such as cars. To find the blind spots on your car, watch another car approach you in your mirrors until it comes into your field of vision, there may be a point where you cannot see the car at all and that would mean it is in one of your blind spots.

A blind spot for a driver refers to areas around the vehicle that are not visible through standard mirrors, making it difficult to see other vehicles or obstacles. These spots typically exist directly behind the vehicle, along the sides, and sometimes in front, depending on the design of the car. Drivers must be aware of their blind spots and often need to turn their heads or use additional technology, like blind-spot monitoring systems, to ensure safe lane changes and maneuvers. Ignoring blind spots can lead to accidents, emphasizing the importance of thorough checking before driving actions.
Atticus is conveying that individuals may act irrationally or unjustly when they are part of a group, but they are still responsible for their actions as individuals.
