People understand when driving a car they have blind spots created by the design of their rear view mirrors. Good drivers make accommodation for those blind spots by looking before changing lanes. Drivers who don't turn their heads while changing lanes, sometimes have accidents that could otherwise be avoided. We, as people also have blind spots, and when we understand our blind spots we are better equipped to make appropriate accommodations for those and therefore avoid "accidents" they could cause. Not only do we have blind spots but how we use our brains varies depending on what's going on and these different conditions make our blind spots worse! While the effects of these different conditions are in front of us every day, most people do not take them into account - most of us continue to live with the accidents that otherwise could easily be avoided.
