What you cannot see in your vehicle rear and side-view mirrors is said to be in your…?
- Safe zone
- Danger zone
- Blind spot ✓
- Dark area
Answer: C. Blind spot
The area you cannot see in your rear and side-view mirrors is your blind spot.
Why this is the answer
The MTO handbook says to check and adjust your mirrors and find your blind spots, describing them as the area on each side of your vehicle where you cannot see. It warns that people or cyclists may be hidden there, and on some vehicles a whole vehicle could be there without you seeing it. It also says side mirrors show only narrow angles, so a shoulder check is the only way to confirm nothing is in those spots. That matches the blind spot choice.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Safe zone — The handbook describes these hidden areas as places where you cannot see, not as a safe zone.
- B. Danger zone — The handbook calls the areas you cannot see blind spots, not danger zones.
- D. Dark area — The handbook's point is about areas hidden from your mirrors, not about darkness.
Remember it
Mirrors show narrow slices; a head turn checks the gaps.
