VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
MY 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS A "BLINDSPOT" IN ITS LEFT HAND MIRROR. VEHICLES PASSING ON THE LEFT OF THE VEHICLE CAN INITIALLY BE SEEN AS THEY PASS ON THE LEFT SIDE. HOWEVER AS THEY PULL MORE ALONG SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THEY "DISAPPEAR" FROM VIEW IN THE MIRROR. THIS APPLIES TO ALL TYPES AND SIZES OF PASSING VEHICLES AND COULD LEAD TO PULLING INTO THE PATH OF A PASSING VEHICLE.
