Are There Blind Spots in Tucson?

All Tucson drivers have blind spots – and no, I’m not talking about the fact that you really don’t sing like Adele. I mean the areas of the road that you can’t see when you’re driving around Tucson.

First let’s talk about our own blinds spots, and then we can talk about others…

To begin, we can greatly reduce blind spots by properly adjusting our mirrors to give the widest coverage possible. Make the adjustments in your vehicle before you start to drive.

First, Tucson drivers should adjust their rear view mirrors to give the best possible view directly to the rear of their vehicle. Tucson folks don’t need it to get a better view of either side of the car, the kids in the back seat or their dazzling smile. It’s pretty obvious, the rear view mirror should reflect the rear.

Next, lean your head until it almost touches the driver’s side window. Adjust your side mirror so that you can just barely see the side of your car. Now, lean your head to the middle of the car and adjust the outside mirror so that you can barely see the right side of the car.

When Tucson drivers adjust their mirrors this way, they’ll have maximum coverage. Of course driving is a dynamic process – things change every second on AZ roads and busy highways. So it’s wise to take a quick look to the side when passing to make sure that another vehicle hasn’t moved into an area you couldn’t see in your mirrors.
