“The center/side rear view mirrors have blind spots. There is an area on the left side in which a vehicle approaching from the rear left side is not visible from either the center or left rear view mirrors. This blind spot is located approximately such that a vehicle located with its right bumper six feet behind and six feet to the left of my left rear bumper is not visible. The only way I can see a vehicle in such a position is to take my eyes off the road and turn my head to the left. …”
