Top view of a car on a three-lane road. Cars E and F are beside and behind it, in the red blind spots outside the yellow mirror view.

The picture shows red areas beside and behind a car. What are these areas?

  1. Areas where other cars must not drive.
  2. Areas that your headlights light at night.
  3. Areas where you can see best.
  4. Areas that you cannot see in your mirrors or with side vision.
Show answer

Correct answer: Areas that you cannot see in your mirrors or with side vision.

Mirrors do not show everything beside and slightly behind your vehicle. These areas are blind spots, so you do a shoulder check.
