Is an obstacle always visible to the driver?
Statistics
Explanation
**Obstacles** on the road may or may not be visible to the driver, depending on the situation. Here we explain why:
- **Limited visibility**: There are situations where visibility is reduced, such as in sharp curves, crests, fog, heavy rain, or when the sun is dazzling. In these cases, obstacles may not be visible until you are very close to them.
- **Blind spots**: Rearview mirrors do not cover all angles around the vehicle. There are areas called **blind spots** where an obstacle may be present without being visible to the driver. It is important to turn your head and look out the window to ensure there are no obstacles before changing lanes.
- **Dangerous parking**: A poorly parked vehicle can become an obstacle that is not visible until you approach. This occurs if the vehicle blocks the passage or visibility on the road.
Therefore, obstacles may be visible at times and not at others, depending on factors such as visibility, the position of the vehicle, and the presence of blind spots.
