What is a “blind spot”?
- The distance a driver should keep from other vehicles while driving in reverse.
- Correct answer: Part of the vehicle's circumference in which the driver cannot see or detect road users.
- The non-paved area around the vehicle.
- Part of the vehicle's circumference which the driver can only see through the mirrors.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Part of the vehicle's circumference in which the driver cannot see or detect road users.
A blind spot is an area around the vehicle that the driver cannot see, either directly or in the mirrors, so road users in it go unnoticed. An area visible in the mirrors is not a blind spot, because the driver can see it. Before changing lanes, turning or reversing, turn your head and check that nobody is hidden there. Larger vehicles have much bigger blind spots.
