Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My daughter was in a bad accident when a driver decided to do a u-turn into her vehicle. the driver did not see in side mirror because she was in a "blind spot. *ak most european autos have a split driver's side mirror, so that there is "no blind spot". the split is vertical about one third of the way in from the outside of the mirror. my contention is that if the driver had had such a mirror, there may have been no accident.
