Examples:
When you are driving and a semi truck is in front of you and you see the sticker that says "if you can not see my mirrors, then I can not see you" that is because you are in the trucks blind spot. The one spot where his eyes or mirror can not reach to see.

Analogies:
The football player sprinted down the field jumping over his opponents and heading for the touch down. The player almost reached the end zone when he was brought down by his opponents. He was so focused on making that touch down he forget to keep look behind him in his blind spots.
