traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is usually not reflected in
the outside rear view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.
Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the out-

Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that are
not visible using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
