Driving friends all have this feeling, and often cannot see the condition of the left side of the car when driving. Usually accidents happen in this unclear moment. This situation is actually caused by the blind spot of A-pillars. Many drivers know little about the blind spot of the A-pillar. Even the old drivers do not pay enough attention when driving.
To find out what is the blind spot of A-pillar, first tell you what A-pillar is
There are three pillars on each side of the car body, and the inclined column on both sides of the front windshield is called A-pillar. The front and rear doors are called B pillars. The inclined column on both sides of the rear windshield is called C-pillar. These pillars will cause the driver to have blind spots in the field of vision. The influence of the A-pillar on the driver is most obvious. Because the domestic driver's seat is generally on the left, when the car is turning or entering the curve, the driver's field of vision will be blocked by the A-pillar, especially the left turn, which is often referred to by the traffic police as a blind spot for life.
How big blind spot does A-pillar produce?
People who haven't started a car or some novice drivers will feel that what can be blocked by such a thin A-pillar? In fact, the blind spot of the A-pillar basically exists in every car. The size of this blind spot depends on the thickness of the A-pillar of the vehicle. A pillar thickness has always been a dilemma. Too fine A-pillars will result in insufficient body strength. It is difficult to protect the safety of people in the car accident in the event of a car accident. If it is too thick, it will affect the driver's view. For this reason, blind spots in the left-turn A column are inevitable.
So, how big is this blind spot for the driver? Since the driver's seat of the domestic vehicle is on the left side, the A-pillar has a greater influence on the left-view line of sight, and the angle of the blind spot will be wider than the right-hand side. Under normal circumstances, the width of the vehicle's A-pillar is about 8 centimeters. This small 8 centimeters gives the driver an angle of 6 degrees in the left blind area and 2 degrees in the right-side blind area. If the distance is good, it is very likely to be blocked. Pedestrians on the left are even vehicles. When parking, the driver's line of sight can reach about 210 degrees, but as the vehicle speed increases, the driver's perspective is reduced, and the blind area has a greater impact on the driver's vision.
How to avoid A blind spot?
The traffic police reminded drivers that special attention should be paid to safety when turning vehicles, especially when turning left. When turning to the left, it is best to slow down, look through the left front door glass to the left front, or move the lower body back and forth to observe the position of the front and left of the vehicle through the front windshield and repeat several times to ensure that no blind spots are left After passing safely. If conditions permit, using technology products to reduce hidden dangers is also a very good choice.
Install a driving recorder: You can record driving conditions, but the disadvantage is that the function is too single and the technology is lacking.
Installation of lane change assisted radar
Many high-grade vehicles now have parallel-assisted vehicles that are close to the warning function. However, most vehicles still do not have this function, but it does not matter. We can install a small radar detection device to detect pedestrian vehicles in front of them. , providing pedestrians with early warning, driving in all black, rain, snow, fog and other weather conditions without pressure, improve the driver's ability to predict and safety factor.
