Blind spots are the parts of the road that you cannot see with your mirrors or directly through your windows. They lie to the sides and behind the vehicle and aren’t visible in any standard mirror angles, so you must turn your head to check them before changing lanes or merging. This is why the correct description matches these unseeable zones. Areas you can see in side mirrors or through the rear window aren’t blind spots, and a definition centered only on behind the trunk doesn’t capture the full side-and-rear blind zones.
