Although all blind spot mirrors are purposed for the sole reason of widening your view to increase your line of sight, they certainly aren't all built the same. A clear divide that sets them apart from the offset is the way in which they are applied to your side mirrors.
Adhesive blind spot mirrors are the most easily applied to all side mirrors. These mirrors typically use super-sticky 3M double sided tape that's already set in place, ready and waiting for you to take the backing off and stick them down. Be sure to stick them to the upper or lower part of your side mirror, depending on your car's blind spot.
Screw-in mirrors come in a few varying types, but the most readily available is a clip-on style that simply slots into the casing of your side mirror with two screws that secure it in place. These mirrors are a good option for wider vehicles like SUVs, vans and lorries as they often offer a wider line of sight.

Blind spot mirrors come in various shapes and sizes to suit the endless vehicle makes and models out there on our roads. Typically the smallest mirrors of the bunch, circular mirrors are a good choice for small cars and motorbikes with pulled in, and sometimes circular, side mirrors.
Circular blind spot mirrors are almost always self adhesive, intended to be placed on the outer part of a mirror to give a window into what's happening behind and beside you while you drive. On the other hand, rectangular, oval and square types are purposed to be placed at the bottom of a side mirror if adhesive, and either across the top or underneath if screw-in.
These wider shapes are great for giving larger vehicles more width from their blind spot mirror, which is always helpful when there's merging to be done. Obviously each side mirror is different, so with no exact blanket rule, just make sure you factor in your car's mirrors against the blind spot mirror's shape and dimensions for a guaranteed fit.
Dependant on the premium nature, as well as the shape and type of a blind spot mirror, they can either be extremely adjustable or firmly set in place. Where adhesive mirrors are concerned, it used to be that they were simply stuck down onto your side mirror and that was that.
However, these days, many brands are now offering 360° rotating blind spot mirrors, enabling you to get your view just right. A popular feature of circular mirrors is that they are set onto a ball and socket joint to create the desired rotating effect, reminiscent of a satellite dish.
Other ways in which blind spot mirrors are known to move include the ability to tilt up and down or side to side. Some mirrors that are intended for lorries specifically project out from an adjustable arm. This gives lorry drivers plenty of manoeuvrability to gain confidence when hauling their load over to the next lane.

Leaving nothing to chance, double blind spot mirrors offer a driver two desirably wide views, which, if set in place correctly, are as good as blind spot mirrors get! Predominantly suiting larger vehicles, or those with a caravan or trailer in tow, these beasts of the blind spot world create an extremely wide point of sight when a standard side mirror seems grossly inadequate.
Double mirrors can either be screw-in or adhesive in application, as they are intended to be affixed above your standard mirror. They're also a great addition to assist in manoeuvring your vehicle when some questionable reversing needs doing.
Although they tend to suit larger cars, there's certainly nothing stopping small car owners from fixing them to their side mirrors. If you're someone who likes the sound of extending your line of sight to the extreme when out on unpredictable roads, then double mirrors will do that and then some.

Another hugely sought after dynamic-duo, WildAuto's screw-in mirrors come ready to protect. These thoughtfully designed mirrors are strong yet considerate to your vehicle, including metal plates made to save your side mirror's body work.
The oval shaped mirror is sized well at 11 x 5.5 cm, to give a broad and assuring view, without going to the extreme. This makes them a great option for both large and small vehicles. So let WildAuto give you the gift of sight, and your time spent on the road will hopefully be less stressful from here on out!
Incredibly popular on Amazon, Meioro's rectangular blind spot mirrors are flying off the internet's shelves as more and more families are opting for larger vehicles. In a similar fashion to numbers five and six, these mirrors are set onto a rotating base to ensure any blind spot is covered.
Meioro also state that the rectangular shape makes a good addition to a car's rearview mirror to help widen your view out the back. In short, it's a versatile mirror for any car that's bigger than the average and needs a wider view.
For the folk who take their blind spots seriously, this 2-pack of mirrors are the real deal. Simply clip them onto the casings of your side mirrors and screw down until some resistance is felt, and you're away!
The mirrors are set onto steel arms to give you a higher vantage point to better see what's going on beyond your vehicle. The mirrors can also be rotated every which way, to ensure you find the perfect sweet-spot. A well-made, sturdy pair that'll serve and protect for a long time yet.
Maypole's deluxe pair of towing mirrors are the go-to for anyone who needs some extra vision beyond the back of their tow bar. A premium blind spot mirror through and through, it can be sturdily fixed in place with two clamps for each mirror.
With a steel arm, the 36 cm wide mirror extends out beyond your side mirror to create the widest view in the west. Obviously, you'll have to factor in their extra girth when taking the short cut home through particularly narrow streets and country lanes. But for motorway driving and touring, this deluxe pair will get you there!
BeskooHome are in the business of giving the British people exactly what they want. No beating around the bush with this one, they simply offer two adhesive blind spot mirrors made to work well with the everyday car.
Benefiting from 360° rotation, this two pack is designed with your line of sight in mind. The best part about this sleek duo is their price. You can equip both your side mirrors with something simple, but ultimately effective. Helping to increase your chances of seeing where your side mirrors dare not.
Sunerly are offering a well priced bundle of blind spot mirrors, which includes one circular and one fan shaped pair of mirrors. This choice allows you to try both out at home, with the help of a family member or friend, to see which works best for you.
Each mirror is set onto a 360° rotating and 30° tilting base, giving you plenty of scope to find your car's blind spot and stricken it from the record. Overall, it's a commendable 4 pack, for a more than reasonable price, that'll help small to medium sized car and motorbike owners find some driving solace.
This is an incredibly good deal on a twin set of double mirrors for larger vehicles on British roads - for which there are many. The mirrors feature a 20° tilting action, allowing you to align them side by side, giving you a broader line of sight behind your vehicle.
The set includes a slightly wider outside mirror to really stretch your sight out beyond what is normally offered by blind spot mirrors. Just note that the mirrors are adhesive, which is slightly concerning considering their intended position of being precariously mounted onto a side mirror.
With a surface area of 14 x 10.5 cm, this adhesive, oval shaped mirror is specifically purposed for lorries and large vans. For the lorry drivers who can never have enough vision to see past their wide loads, you could even double-up by combining this adhesive mirror with a screw-in type.
If you've got a work van that too often gets dinged and banged up by your employees, this mirror will give them no excuse for not seeing that pole in the yard. Obviously, it's a niche mirror that won't suit the common car, but for heavier vehicles, it offers a simple solution.
Another offering from Summit, and for the same price as the single circular mirror at number 10, you can have a pair of sideways tilting rectangular mirrors for a wider view over the left and right side of your car.
The only hitch is the lack of information regarding the way in which the mirrors are applied to your side mirrors. The tilting mirror is set inside a plastic casing, which typically lends itself to a screw-in style mirror, but some clarity from Halfords would be nice.
To start us off is this single, circular blind spot mirror that measures 5 cm in diameter and is adhesive in application. Summit's is a good blind spot mirror, but an expensive one at that!
This deal pails in comparison when compared to the deals further up this list. Still, Summit mirrors are a well-trusted brand, making this a safe bet if you need to eliminate a blind spot with just one mirror.
Blindspot mirrors are fixed on the outer edge of the wing mirror, which allows a view of your blind spot without compromising your view of the road behind you in the rest of the mirror. Most manufacturers will provide specific placement instructions for their mirrors, so always make sure to check the product specifications beforehand.
Wing and rear-view mirrors provide an expansive view around a vehicle so that you can keep an eye on all parts of the road and drive safely. However, most vehicles tend to have a blind spot that can't be covered by standard mirrors, so this gap in vision could leave you vulnerable to accidents.
