Incident Report Subject: FW: Passenger Car Side Mirror Date of Email reporting Incident: Mon 03/12/2001 10:27 Report Detail: Excerpts from National Safety Council on Safe Driving. Some of the most serious preventable accidents occur because of blind spots while driving! Now there is a remarkable simple solution discovered by an engineer named George Platter. He presented his method at the prestigious Society of Automotive Engineers. The National Safety Council tested his theory and discovered, to their amazement, that it works! The method has been fully endorsed by the National Safety Council as described in their September/October issue of Traffic Safety. Here's how it works. First, forget how we learned to adjust our outside mirrors by
plopping behind the steering wheel and turning the mirrors so that we Once this is set, move to the center of the vehicle and turn the
passenger side mirror so that you can just see the side of your car That's it. You won't see your own car in either mirror, yet what you will see is far better. Cars behind you show up as usual in the inside rear-view mirror above the dash, but the instant the car leaves your field of vision from the rear-view mirror the outside mirror picks it up. No blind spot; no delays; no wondering where that car about to pass you has disappeared to, and no waiting a few seconds for the car that you just saw in your rear-view mirror to show up in your outside mirrors. All three mirrors work in harmony with one another, and the blind spot has been eliminated! Additional Information: Click Here for PowerPoint presentation on Safety
