crash tested
I was almost rear ended by someone on Sunday. Long story short: I was in front of this driver for a while in daylight, it was an easy, slow stop, and all of a sudden I hear his brakes/tires squeal and see his hood out of the corner of my eye. I'm not sure what I could have done differently, I think he was one of those "distracted" drivers that are famous in the DC metro area. :ban:
I do know that I need to do a better job of keeping track of the car behind me! What do you guys and gals use to cover your rear blind spot? I did some research online, and it looks like those small convex mirrors that you can get from an autoparts store are good for the left and right blind spots. I am specifically concerned about the rear. Maybe my mirrors aren't adjusted properly. Currently they are angled to cover the left and right lanes. Maybe I should move them more inward to cover the rear blind spot and put those convex mirrors to compensate for the inward facing angle?
Thanks folks.
