My car has very bad blind spots.  I'm not on my phone, in a rush, on the radio and my kid is chilling in the back.  I simply cannot see out of the sides and part of the back windows due to the design of the car and car seats.   You need to pay attention and be hyper-aware, especially if you are weaving in/out of traffic.  And, yes, a new car with all the safety features would be great, but we cannot afford one right now.[/quote]

Your mirrors are probably not adjusted properly. Many people set the side-view mirrors so that they give a view of the back corner of our cars. But the back corner of the car never moves. It always stays in the same exact place. So there's really no reason to keep an eye on it. By moving the side mirrors farther out, you can line up all three of your mirrors so they have minimal overlap -- and you can see everything behind you and beside you.

One trick I use is to adjust my mirrors at a long red light when there are lanes of cars on either side of me. That way I can actively minimize my blind spots.
