It only takes a split-second lapse of concentration to change lanes on a motorway and pull straight into the path of another vehicle. You might think it would be impossible to miss something as big as a car creeping up from behind, but blind spots catch out even the most careful of drivers.

Blind spot mirrors aim to cover the parts your standard mirrors miss, giving you a far greater view of what’s going on behind your car. There’s a wide range of options on the market, from large clip-on mirrors to simple stick-on products. Most use convex glass which, when angled in the right place, covers the area your standard mirrors don’t pick up.
