What does the term ‘blind spot’ mean for a driver?

Explanation: Modern vehicles provide the driver with well-positioned mirrors, which are essential to safe driving. However, they can't see every angle of the scene behind and to the sides of the vehicle. This is why it's essential that, when necessary, you look around to check those areas not visible in your mirrors.
