The rear-view mirrors on your motorcycle are correctly adjusted and aligned. Is it possible for blind spots to occur when you look in the rear-view mirrors?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes. Even correctly adjusted mirrors may leave areas to the sides or rear outside their field of view: blind spots. They are not necessarily limited to the left side. Before a manoeuvre, check traffic in the mirrors and, where necessary, supplement that observation with a safe brief head check. Looking longer at the same mirror does not by itself reveal an area outside its field of view.
