2 mins confidence:

angle mort

Explanation:
En théorie, tout ce qu’il y a autour de la voiture est visible sans tourner la tête. Mais en pratique, la somme des champs de vision offerte ne couvre pas totalement le monde extérieur. Ainsi, la zone de visibilité donnée par la somme du champ de vision du rétroviseur gauche et de la vitre latérale gauche est incomplète. Une petite partie n’est pas recouverte et cette zone est donc invisible pour le conducteur : c’est l’angle mort.
