Speeding error

[Highway Man]

Another that doesn't understand. Or believes bs.

But with you driving a van daily I'd have thought you'd know better.

Alas not

I am an amazing driver, it is a hgv vehicle rather than a van though

The laws exist for everyone. Those imposing the limits and those having to comply.

No, it doesn't! I know a police officer who killed an old woman walking across a pedestrian crossing when it was green to walk, he was speeding, took no notice of the red light , and ploughed into the old lady and killed her.

So you should understand the point even more?

Hgv ?

Hgv ?

yes it is a class c hgv or LGV if you prefer

And are your convex mirrors the big ones on your vehicle ?

 

[Highway Man]

And are your convex mirrors the big ones on your vehicle ?

yes obviously, we have cameras on them too

 

[securespark]

maybe time to hand them back.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I was driving nearly 30 years and have covered hundreds of thousands of miles, many of them commercial up to 7.5t, but had to give up for medical reasons.

Boy, I miss it!

do you want to tell us which is the convex mirror. And if it's the biggest 1 ?

the convex mirror is the small one, nobody is suggesting otherwise. what is obvious and illustrated by your photo, which does not show a drivers eye position, is the larger (flat) one has the best chance of giving you a view of what is next to you (blind spot) and the smaller gives you a wider view of the vehicles in the distance (if it was correctly set, which it isn't). It probably doesn't make much difference in a small transit like the one you appear to be driving and of course its the nearside mirror that is relevant to the below:

People sometime incorrectly set up their mirrors on transits/flatbeds. The big mirror is your blind spot mirror, the small one is your distance mirror. People sometimes set those the wrong way around.

Its established that you don't understand your mirrors or their purposes

because you say so.. righto. maybe have a look at the theory test - which gives you the correct answer.

The convex mirror makes things look further away and gives a wider field of view.

Which is the more important hazard? the one next to you or the one further away? Do you need more information about the hazards close or the ones further away?

If you set your flat mirror to show less sky (pointless) and more of the road next to you, you will be more alert to things adjacent to you and less likely to move in to a space that is occupied.

while I hold the view that his driving/riding was careless and negligent, he is properly exempt from both in law, so yes it does.

Hey you've hit it. A WIDER angle

Both. Every hazard is exactly that

If you set your flat mirror to show less sky (pointless) and more of the road next to you, you will be more alert to things adjacent to you and less likely to move in to a space that is occupied.

Wow stating the blinking obvious.

The correct way to use your mirrors is to use them all.

But to really answer you. The blind spot, by it's very nature is the 1 that is in your blind spot, the thing you claimed doesn't exist. It's usually found slightly to the rear and away from the side. But there are other spots that mirrors don't cover.

I won't be taking any driving nonsense from you thank you. And you sound an appalling dangerous driver.

Blind spots don't exist. What a wally.

Usually Denso but heck we do have another.

every hazard has the same priority? maybe have a think about that

I'm not the one who thinks all hazard have the same priority.

Do you think you'd pass your driving test if you failed to observe your blind spots?

It's up to you to set your mirrors up and adjust your observation to allow you to see into the space you intend to occupy.

how could you observe them if they don't exist

Blind spots don't exist. What a wally.

you seem to have started an argument about nothing, lost it and then got upset.

Well done
