blind spot mirror

Lane-change safety aid

A blind spot mirror is a small convex mirror attached to a vehicle's side mirror, angled to show areas the main mirror can't reach.

The curved surface provides a wider field of view, revealing vehicles in adjacent lanes that would otherwise be invisible to the driver: I added blind spot mirrors after nearly sideswiping someone on the highway.
