Correct answer

  • BSí. Está el riesgo de no verlo si queda en el ángulo muerto del retrovisor.Yes. There is a risk of not seeing it if it is in the mirror's blind spot.

Yes. A motorcycle or moped travelling level with the car can be in the mirrors' blind spot and go unnoticed when you change lanes or turn. It is best not to stay alongside it, and to check the blind spot by turning your head before moving sideways.
