Yet you are saying you have to lean over to not see a blind spot. So nobody turns theirs heads anymore when changing lanes LOL.
YAll just want to argue about anything. Basic driving 101 every car has blind spots don’t be lazy drivers. Please for all of our safety sake.
You didn’t read his instructions correctly. You are also incorrect. If you adjust your mirrors properly you won’t have blind spots.
People (for some dumb reason) set their side view mirrors to look straight back rather than, you know.....to the sides. If you're ever behind someone in traffic and you can see the driver in his side view mirrors then they have them set incorrectly.
Here's a youtube video in case it's easier to follow:
My preference is similar to track driving:

As a motorcyclist frequently fighting cagers if you think you can see all the angles behind your car in the two side mirrors I’m going with - you’re the reason I’m kicking your doors as you try and take my lane.

I know how to adjust my mirrors properly so I can indeed see everything around my vehicles.
Super cringe to use the term "cagers" btw.

So if I’m tracking everyone. You’re saying if I can see the driver in the mirror, their mirror isn’t adjusted right.
But if I can’t see you in the mirror, it’s adjusted right?
Does this sum that sum it up correctly?

No. You lean over to adjust the mirrors as I described. When you are in the driver's seat, the mirrors are now properly adjusted without the need to move your head/body. It's a technique used to adjust the mirrors correctly, not a technique to use the mirrors.
I'm not arguing anything; I'm trying to teach something to fellow forum members. It was an article published in Car and Driver 30+ years ago (when I read it at least).

I've been a motorcyclist for 41 years. I doubt you'd kick my doors. As a motorcycle rider, if you depend on expecting other drivers to see you as part of your safe riding techniques, then you've been lucky so far...

So you are the one who is arguing. Come drive my Z4 Coupe and try turning your head instead of using the mirrors. In the Z4 Coupe you can't see out of the rear 3/4 view by turning your head; you have to know how to properly adjust the mirrors. Side view mirrors were invented to alleviate blind spots, not create them.
Just because you were not taught correctly to use side mirrors doesn't mean I'm wrong.

A vehicle the size of the Bronco has many blind spots. The most obvious one is the position of the rear tires relative to obstscles while backing up on a trail, or something as simple as assessing the position of the vehicle relative to the parking spot lanes. A blind spot mirror addresses this need.

Holy Shit!!!!!!!! I have been here long enough to know pissing matches happen all the time about who is the better driver but this thread seems to have shot to the top.
I don't trust tech but don't hate it. I've never considered exactly where my mirrors need to be either. I have been driving for 38 years and have never been in an accident.
According to some of you it has been all blind ass luck because obviously I don't know what I'm doing because I'm not professionally adjusting my mirrors or I trust tech too much.
