A system and method are provided and include a blind spot monitoring system including a blind spot sensor that monitors a blind spot alert area of a subject vehicle and that generates an alert when a secondary vehicle is detected within the blind spot alert area of the subject vehicle. An object detection system detects an adjacent vehicle traveling in an adjacent lane to the subject vehicle. A controller determines whether the subject vehicle has passed the adjacent vehicle and that expands the blind spot alert area in response to determining that the subject vehicle has passed the adjacent vehicle.
