A driveway mirror is a kind of convex mirror that allows drivers to safely enter and exit driveways, especially when those driveways are rather tight spaces and when they are positioned in a way that causes blind spots for drivers. Some driveways are positioned in such a way that it is difficult or even impossible to see oncoming traffic. A driveway mirror can solve this problem by reflecting the area that is not visible to the driver. In most cases, a driveway mirror is attached to the side of a building or is erected on a post. It can be attached, however, to any solid structure, including the trunk of a tree.
These kinds of mirrors are also sometimes used on public roads where additional visibility is needed to help avoid traffic accidents. In addition to being used to avoid traffic accidents, a driveway mirror can also be used to help drivers navigate tight spaces. A driveway mirror can be used to help a driver pull his car into a tight garage parking spot without bumping or scraping the exterior of the car. Such a mirror can also be used to help drivers navigate tight corners without causing damage to their cars.
When installing a driveway mirror, positioning is key. If the mirror is not positioned in the right way, it will not reflect an image of the area that drivers need to see. It is often helpful to have two people work on the installation project. One person should be in a vehicle, parked in the area where additional visibility is needed. The other person can adjust the placement and positioning of the mirror as directed by the person in the car. Once the perfect placement and positioning has been identified, the driveway mirror can be installed.
In many situations, a single driveway mirror can solve a number of visibility issues. In some, cases, however, two driveway mirrors may be necessary. If a driveway is positioned so that oncoming traffic is difficult to see and if there is traffic coming in two directions, it may be necessary to install two driveway mirrors, one on each side of the end of the driveway. In this case, it is important to position the mirrors so that they do not interfere with each other. When positioned properly, they can show traffic that may be coming in both directions.
