Eliminate car Blindspots. #Random Tip - 6

Hi

Directly to the content:

Eliminate Car Blind Spots - Contrary to popular convention, adjusting your mirrors to show the rear edge of your car while sitting straight up in the driver's seat creates your blind spot. While the following might take a little getting used to, it vastly reduces and/or eliminates blind spots:  

Left/Right Mirror (Driver's side(different in different countries) - tilt your head to the left so it is almost touches the driver's side window. Now, adjust your mirror outward until you can only just see the rear left edge of your car.

Right Mirror - position your head almost directly in front (centered) on the rear view mirror. Do the same for your passenger side mirror, angling it out until you can just see the right rear edge.You may have to fine tune slightly, but you should notice that cars approaching (or departing, if you're overtaking and changing lanes, for example)  from either side will now visibly hand-off from wing mirror to rear view with virtually no blind spot.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Kilos to pounds #Random Tip - V

Hi

This is so simple to do with your brain, you don't need any calculators or converters.

To easily convert from Kilos to Pounds, double it and then add ten percent.

Example,

1) 73kg x 2 = 146
 
     146 + 14.6 =160.6 Lbs

2) 45kg x 2 = 90
 
     90 + 9 = 99Lbs

#additionalTip

Pounds to kilos is to halve and then minus ten percent, but it isn't as accurate as the method to convert from Kilos to Pounds. I hope that suffices every day needs.

Have a nice day.
