OMG me too. I was having an eye exam. The technician had a black field with a bunch of lines. Holding a rod with a white dot, and told to let them know when it disappeared.
I laughed, "Well that will only happen if you put it behind your back."
They laughed, "Everyone has an astigmatism where the nerves enter the eye. We are looking for that or any other issues."
I was so shocked when the dot disappeared.
Also happy to hear it was the normal blind spot.

- moistly 6y agoNot if your mirrors are set correctly. Lean your head to the side window, set the mirror so that it just misses the tail end of your car. Position your head over the centre console, set the mirror. There is now approximately no blind spot. You can fine-tune by careful observation on a multi-lane highway as people pass/you pass others. Done correctly, there is no blind spot.
- giantg2 6y agoUpvoted but wanted to add that this also requires the right mirrors. If you try to tow some trailers with a vehicle that doesn't have tow mirrors, then you could have a blind spot, especially behind the trailer if it blocks your regular rear view mirror.
- shaftway 6y agoThere are always blind spots. You covered a blind spot, but not all of them. Some of them are surprising. https://www.wthr.com/article/news/investigations/13-investigates/13-investigates-millions-vehicles-have-unexpected-dangerous-front-blind-zone/531-9521c471-3bc1-4b55-b860-3363f0954b3b https://www.wthr.com/article/news/investigations/13-investig...
