1. What is the "Blind spot?"

The nearside blind spot is something every lorry or bus driver has to live with. However alert a driver may be, there is always the risk that someone or something will be overlooked. Even with a so-called panorama mirror it is easy to lose sight of cyclists and pedestrians close to the vehicle. The DOBLI® blind spot mirror (invented in Holland, where the name stands for the two words that mean blind spot) shows the area not covered by a "panorama" mirror. With a DOBLI® there is no blind spot, so the risk of accidents is greatly reduced.
