What does the term "blind spots" refer to?

Areas around your vehicle that you cannot see through mirrors
Areas that are only visible at certain times of day
Spots where parking is prohibited
Areas with restricted visibility due to weather conditions

The correct answer is: Areas around your vehicle that you cannot see through mirrors

The term "blind spots" refers specifically to areas around your vehicle that you cannot see through mirrors. Every vehicle has certain zones that remain out of the driver's sight, despite using standard rearview and side mirrors. These blind spots can pose significant dangers, especially during lane changes or turning maneuvers, as other vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists may occupy these spaces without the driver's awareness. Understanding where these blind spots are is crucial for safe driving and helps drivers be more vigilant and cautious. The other options refer to different visibility issues but do not accurately describe blind spots. For instance, visibility that changes depending on the time of day or due to weather conditions relates to different driving hazards rather than the fixed areas around the vehicle that are not visible in mirrors. Similarly, prohibited parking spots address legal regulations rather than safety awareness concerning vehicle visibility.
