Description of the problem | The side rear-view mirror is large and creates a large blindspot so that it is very difficult to see objects when turning left. I was turning into my subdivision and almost hit a vehicle that was waiting for me to complete my turn before entering the intersection. I believe the vehicle was a red bmw sedan (small), and i didn't saw it until we almost collided. Fortunately i was going slowly enough to make a quick correction when the driver of the other vehicle honked. I have had numerous other similar incidents during the six months i have driven my car. |
