It may be surprising to learn that there is a better way of setting the rearview mirrors on the car. A quick test is that if one looks in your side mirrors and the side of the car is seen, it means that the mirror's capacity is not being used. Many people notably have a huge overlap between the side and center rear view mirrors, this is important. When the side mirrors are spread, no information is lost about what is present behind. Although valuable insight must be gained regarding what is present beside. Many driving schools recommend this new method; it also includes the BMW Performance Center in South Carolina.
What are Blind Spots?
Blind spots are the areas in which a vehicle cannot be seen from either the driver's secondary vision, inside mirror or the side mirrors. Many drivers set their side mirrors in a way that they can just barely see the side of their car in the mirrors. By setting the side mirrors in a proper way and also using the rearview mirror can reduce the blind spots. However the size of these blind spots is still capable of hiding a vehicle.
How is Blind spot caused?
Perhaps one needs to change lanes or merge into traffic every time when while driving. These maneuvers of routine nature can cause dangerous situations because every vehicle has blind spots. According to a survey, there is an estimate of 630,000 lane change and merge crashes every year causing nearly 225 fatalities. Although not needed to say but the simple act of changing lanes or merging requires precautions and practice. Blind spots are also called blind zones.
How to eliminate blind spots
Following are some of the useful ways to remove blind spots; - One should lean his head over in a way that it almost touches the driver's window. Then the side mirror should be positioned on the car's left side so one can just see the rear or the car or the quarter panel in the mirror. It must be noted that this will have the mirror positioned farther out than one did not possibly had it before.
- The center rearview mirror can be adjusted in a position that it faces the rear window's center.
- The head can be leaned to the right for aligning it with the center of the car. An example can be just between the two front seats at a considerable normal height. The right side mirror can be positioned from there so the rear quarter panel of the passenger side in can be seen in the mirror.
- It can be noted while driving that a car passing by begins in the center of the rearview mirror. As it approaches, it moves to the side of the center rear view mirror. It appears on the side mirror at the same time. Because the mirrors are overlapped, this would mean that that there is no rear blind spot.
- It can also be noted that the side mirrors will now capture a great extra amount of view that is in the lanes quickly next to the car. Turning the head for needed before for ensure if there was nothing in the lanes next to the car prior to changing lanes. But now, the side mirrors have much better productivity and better job of covering this blind spot on the sides.
The ESFLOW concept cars will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March) where it will share the Nissan stand with a number of other innovative and exciting newcomers - but with one major difference: these are production ready.
The 2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept isn’t scheduled to be unveiled until the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in just a couple of weeks. Nissan plans to reveal its new electric concept, called Esflow, at the Chicago Auto Show this year. The car will make its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show from March.
2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
Nissan has a reputation for creating some of the most exhilarating sports cars on the market. Nissan has also developed the world's first practical Zero Emission family car, the Nissan LEAF. Now Nissan has put that expertise together. It has captured the excitement of a sports car and the environmental benefits of an electric vehicle and blended them into one dramatic two-seater concept: ESFLOW.
It may be a concept, but the Nissan ESFLOW electric sports cars proves it's possible to remain environmentally sympathetic without having to give up the joy of driving. It looks like a sports car, handles like a sports car and performs like one too. But Nissan ESFLOW Concept cars is different to every other sports car yet built: it's electric. Using technology pioneered in the award-winning Nissan LEAF, the EV concept shows that driving can still be as much fun tomorrow as it is today.
2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
Ecological minimalism need not come at the expense of luxury. The cabin of the 2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept is clean and open and weight saving has been a priority throughout its design, but it is still a comfortable and pleasant place to sit. By far the heaviest components in modern cars' interiors are the steel framed, thickly upholstered and increasingly motorized seats. In 2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept the seats are sculpted into the rear bulkhead of the car, negating the need for a heavy frame. This of course means that they are immobile, but this is of no consequence as the fly-by-wire steering and pedals adjust electrically to the best spot to suit each individual driver's size and preferred driving position.
Nissan ESFLOW Concept is rear-wheel drive and it runs on two motors. The car's graceful proportions allow the twin electric motors to be placed above the axis of the rear wheels, in a mid-ship position,. These motors independently control the left and right wheels, and so the torque is optimized to ensure outstanding vehicle stability and control as well as efficient power regeneration. The motors produce enough torque in an instant for it to reach a 100kph in under 5 seconds.

Power for the motors comes from the same laminated lithium-ion battery packs used in the Nissan LEAF, but in ESFLOW the packs are located along the axis of the front and rear wheels. This centralizes the mass of the car, and thus its rotation point, close to the driver's hips. These cleverly positioned batteries enable the car to travel over 240km on one charge.
2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
The colors of this Esflow are inspired from glaciers, with highly reflective blue-tinted solidified liquid shapes. Even if this concept will not hit the production line too soon, it could be a great source of inspiration for Nissan’s future sports cars.
I request that it be looked into for Bradley Manning be released. Leaking information about the committing of war crimes should not be a crime, the committing of war crimes should.
If you call, write, or email into police, the FBI, USDOJ, and other investigators the first thing they do is look to discredit, arrest, and ruin the caller in when there are allegations of public corruption, and/or police, attorney, official, or judicial misconduct.
I was threatened with arrest, loss of my home, my family, my job, be thrown in prison, and then kicked out of state if I proposed legislation to help youth go good. I was told by a police officer that if I proposed the legislation it would interrupt the revenue collection of police, lawyers, and the courts, and if I proposed the legislation, I would be arrested. I was, and was railroaded to prison. I am ruined, have been homeless, have trouble getting jobs, and have been estranged from my daughter and most of my family since being railroaded to jail to be held as a political prisoner. I owned 3 rental properties and ran a successful contracting business built over 2 decades before my false arrest and imprisonment.
There is no one to report crimes of this type to. Courts are rigged. It can be proven. Will you look into my case and others of judicial, prosecutorial, and police misconduct? Will you discuss my case with me? I have copied the text of this letter to you on today’s date at: thegetjusticecoalition.blogspot.com that will include links to video and other information.
Many elected officials aren’t willing to serve their constituents. I feel you are different. How will history judge elected officials who have no greater responsibility than ever to preserve America for Americans before it is too late? Please contact me.
Thank you, Steven G. Erickson

Prison for Downtown Taxpayers
Text with video: when they complain about heroin, crack cocaine, and marijuana being sold 24 hours a day by alcohol swilling teens using the homeowners' yards as toilets and cheap brothel.
Police in downtown areas partner with drug dealers and can be so busy sleeping with prostitutes they don't bother to answer calls into them.
I had tried to have Rockville Superior Court Judge Jonathan J. Kaplan removed for bias, in civil cases, involving landlords, the self-employed, and contractors for two years BEFORE he sat on my criminal trial.
Prosecutor Keith Courier told me he would prosecute me if I evicted prostitute Lana Thompson who had gone to visit him in high heals, low cut, mini-dress to show off her huge breasts. The oral sex he possibly got probably cost me my relationship with my daughter, my home, my dog, credit, ability to get a job, retirement, and the sum total of my life's work.
There seems to be no recourse and no justice. There is no one to take complaints, not the FBI, police, not elected official, lawyers are in cahoots, and court cases are rigged.

Patrick Leahy's 3/11/2011 response to my email into his office: Dear Mr. Erickson:
Thank you for contacting me about the treatment of Private Bradley Manning.
Federal law prohibits government employees from leaking information that compromises national security, reveals covert agents, aids foreign governments, or discloses cryptographic information. Private Manning has been charged with transferring classified information to an unauthorized source. As a United States Senator, I've made it a policy not to comment on any ongoing cases or investigations. That being said, I am confident that he will be tried fairly and, if found guilty, punished accordingly.
I am aware of the debate regarding Private Manning's treatment in the Marine Corps Brig at Quantico. Private Manning was in the U.S. Army when he was accused of the illicit transfer of classified information. Therefore, his trial and confinement procedures are those prescribed by the military. That said, recent media reports suggest that Private Manning may be receiving unfair treatment. Claims by his lawyer that he has been made to stand naked outside of his cell, for example, are worrisome. The refusal of military spokesmen to justify these steps casts a further shadow over the conditions of Private Manning's incarceration. I assure you that I will keep an eye on all further developments this case and Private Manning's treatment.
I appreciate your concern regarding this issue, and thank you again for contacting me.
