Using your side mirrors eliminates all blind spots.

Explanation:
Side mirrors help you see vehicles in adjacent lanes and greatly reduce blind spots, but they do not cover every area around your vehicle. There will still be zones behind and to the sides that you can’t view from the mirrors alone. To stay safe when changing lanes, you should perform a shoulder check in addition to your mirror checks. Properly adjusted mirrors minimize blind spots, but even with good adjustment there will be some hidden space, and if mirrors are set incorrectly you can create new blind spots.
