How can you avoid being in a blind spot of another vehicle?

Positioning yourself where you can see the driver’s face in their mirrors is crucial for safe riding. This strategy ensures that you are in a location where the driver is more likely to notice you. When you can see the driver, it indicates that you are in their line of sight, reducing the risk of being in their blind spot.

Being in a blind spot means that the driver may not see you, significantly increasing the danger of a collision. By ensuring that you can see the driver, you enhance your safety and improve your chances of being seen before they make any lane changes or maneuvers.

This option is fundamental to defensive riding, as it emphasizes awareness not only of your position but also of the drivers around you, allowing for better decision-making while on the road.
