Beware of these dangerous blind spots! First, the front/back blind area
In front of the hood is the blind spot of the driver's vision (the blind spot of the front of the car). If there are small animals or children in front of the car, we can't see them at all. The height of the driver is different, and the blind area of vision is different. Body, seat height and front length will all affect the blind area of the front! Many accidents are caused by blind spots ahead.
The rear blind spot (rear blind spot) refers to the blind spot at the rear of the car. Because the rearview mirror of the vehicle can only see both sides of the car body, there is no way to see the rear of the car, so the blind spot at the rear of the car is relatively large. Now all cars have reverse images or 360 images, which can avoid the blind spot at the rear of the car.
Solution: Go around the car and look around before reversing. If there is a 360 image in the car, you can open it and look around, and it will have the same effect. Observe the surrounding conditions before starting the vehicle, and make sure that there are no obstacles, children and small animals around the vehicle before acting.
Second, the rearview mirror blind area
Also known as lane-changing blind area, it refers to the area where the rear and side of the car are beyond the reflection range of the rearview mirror, which mostly occurs when changing lanes and turning. If the turning angle is large, the driver can't see the cars coming in the lane from the rearview mirror at all, thus forming a "rearview mirror blind area".
Solution: When the vehicle needs to change lanes or turn, it must turn on the turn signal in advance to ensure safety. Because the car body and the lane formed an angle at that time, the field of view of the left rearview mirror would also be deflected by an angle, so the nearest innermost lane could not be seen. When adjusting the rearview mirror at ordinary times, try to adjust the viewing angle of the rearview mirror to the maximum to avoid rubbing accidents.
Third, A/B column blind area
Usually, the blind area formed by the left A-pillar is smaller, and the blind area on the right is more dangerous. In addition, there is a blind spot near the right side of the car body, extending from the rearview mirror to the front of the car.
This is the most common car blind spot, which is often formed when cars turn or merge. Its potential danger will not only lead to car collision, but also easily encounter pedestrians and obstacles.
Solution: When changing lanes or merging lines, be sure to slow down. Make sure there is enough distance from the rear car, which shows no signs of acceleration. In addition, be careful not to change lanes continuously. You can change to an adjacent lane first and drive a safe distance before changing lanes for the second time. Remember: slow down and look, it's too late.
Fourth, the blind spot of inner wheel difference
When the vehicle turns, the turning radii of the front inner wheel and the rear inner wheel are different. Generally, small cars will have an inner wheel difference of nearly 1 m, and large cars will have an inner wheel difference of up to 2 meters. When turning, the turning radius of the rear wheel of the car is smaller than that of the front wheel. Generally, the front of the car has turned but the car body has not, so the driver can't see people or things close to the car body, which is easy to cause accidents.
When a large vehicle turns, the "inner wheel difference" will be meniscus, which is called "death meniscus".
Solution: When driving a vehicle, the owner must slow down before turning. After making sure it is safe in the visual range, he will probe his body a little to make sure there are no obstacles around him. Never turn around when driving. Stay away from the big trucks on the road, especially when turning, and don't grab the road with the big trucks.
Fifth, overtaking blind area.
When overtaking, the blind area caused by the occlusion of the preceding car is called overtaking blind area. Whether overtaking the car in front or the opposite car, the driver often can't see clearly the situation before and after the car in front or coming, especially when overtaking a large car such as a bus, the overtaking blind spot is even bigger.
Solution: The most effective way is to obey the traffic rules. If you are not sure, don't overtake, keep enough distance from the bus in front, and try to ensure that you can see the traffic lights or other auxiliary traffic lights in front. When overtaking, you should keep a safe distance from the front car, and the front of the car can tilt slightly to the left. Pay attention to the road conditions in the opposite lane.
Six, mountain blind area
The mountain road is rugged and narrow, especially when the vehicle passes through the curve in the mountainous area, the hill inside may block the line of sight and it is impossible to accurately judge the road ahead. Many seemingly ordinary turns are actually continuous S-shaped detours, and the position behind the turn is the blind spot of the driver's sight.
Solution: When driving on mountain roads, you must pay more attention to the signs on the roadside and don't blindly rely on electronic devices such as navigation. At the same time, drive on the right, control the speed, and whistle in advance when turning.
In addition to these blind spots caused by the car itself, drivers' inattention or fatigue driving during driving will also form blind spots of sight, leading to frequent traffic accidents. Good driving habits are also a "necessary magic weapon" for safe travel.
What should drivers and pedestrians pay attention to in the blind area of vehicles?
1, drivers must get into the habit of observing around the car before getting on the bus. This can not only effectively find the obstacles in the blind area of the vehicle, but also observe the state of the vehicle itself, such as whether the tire is leaking. In addition, when the vehicle turns, the driver should try to move his body back and forth, so as to see the state in the blind area of the A-pillar clearly.
2.SUV models are higher than ordinary cars, and the blind area is larger. It is easy for children to cause traffic accidents when they enter the blind area of vehicles or crouch beside vehicles. The longer and wider the truck, the bigger the blind spot.
Parents must repeatedly tell their children not to play around the vehicle on weekdays, especially not to squat in front of the vehicle, behind the vehicle or other blind spots, even if there is no one in the vehicle. Not every driver will look around before leaving. Don't let the children leave their sight when going out. When you meet a big truck, whether adults or children, try to stay away from it.
4. Stationary cars in the parking lot or roadside may be more dangerous than cars driving on the road. The parking space is narrow and the viewing angle is limited, so children are not easy to be noticed. When the driver starts the vehicle and suddenly finds the child, there is probably no room for reaction, which leads to tragedy.
