The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. This article expands on that paper.
I switched a few months ago. It took a while to get used to it, but I feel like I have a better picture of what’s happening around me.
Have you tried this? Did you switch back?
I split the difference. I adjust the side mirrors so that I cannot see the sides of my car from my normal driving position. If I move my head at all, such as the prerequisite shoulder check when changing lanes, the side of my car is visible.
I have been driving like this for more than a decade and have had no issues with backing my car up or seeing behind me. There are still blind spots, unfortunately, but they’re smaller.
