When we drive on our Denver streets, we encounter blind spots. We can greatly reduce our blind spots by properly adjusting our mirrors to give the widest coverage possible. Make the adjustments to your vehicle before you start to drive.
First, adjust your rear view mirror to give the best possible view directly to the rear of your truck or other vehicle type. You don’t need it to get a better view of either side of the car, the kids in the back seat or your dazzling smile. The rear view mirror should look to 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.
With your vehicle mirrors adjusted this way, you’ll have maximum coverage. Of course, driving in Denver is a dynamic process – things change every second. 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.
As you drive in the Denver area, avoid staying in other driver’s blind spots. You can’t count on them to be watching their mirrors and looking out for you. Pass large trucks and buses on the left whenever possible. A trucks’ blind spot is much larger on the right.
Be attentive and wear your seat belts, and thank you for reading!
There is an update on the Nitro scene. We are no lonegr allowing nitro in our facility. We tested this thoroughly and we feel the best thing we can do is stick to electric. Thanks to everyone for testing and helping us out with this.
