Vehicle blind spot

Do you ever notice that sometimes when you're in the car and you're trying to look out the window you can't see certain things? That's because there's a special spot around the car where the driver can't see things, and it's called the blind spot.

Think of it like a big bubble around the car. The driver can see a lot of things in front of and behind the car, but there's a small area on either side of the car where they can't see as well.

This is important to know because if someone or something is in the blind spot, the driver might accidentally run into it when they're changing lanes or turning. So, it's really important to be careful when driving and always check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder before you make any moves.
