How Rear-View Mirrors Can Often Deceive Us

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Side mirror

This video is very short but effective, as it highlights how, on car mirrors, even those equipped with BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) which detects blind spots for vehicles, there is always a blind spot.

Opening your door without looking can cause a serious accident, if not loss of life. So, always be very careful when opening a door. This is even more important for rear doors, which lack any mirrors.
