My neighbors don't have bushes in their yard and there are no white cars on my street. So what do I do then? (kidding)

thanks for taking the time to demonstrate something that is so important and can save lives. i had read about this, however, your video made it crystal clear. it makes so much sense! thanks to your video, i plan to adjust my mirrors today to eliminate blind spots. thanks again!

Hmmm...you didn't set it up the way I would suggest, but...yeah, this is one of the greatest, simplest driving tips that like...no one seems to know about lol. Cheers!

nice video, but if you can't see the back of your car you will never be able to imagine the position of the car behind you relative to your position, you will be totally disoriented!

From an instructor/ examiner:

You did better than the current fad (mirrors extremely far out). But you will never eliminate ALL blindspots.

Adjusting the side mirrors so the edge of your car just disappears is basically what you are doing.

For those who want to see the edge of their car when backing, lean your head slightly toward that mirror (which most people do intuitively). With your not too wide setting, they will see the edge of their car in relation to the edge of their driveway.

I get what he is trying to say: adjusting all your mirrors such that they offer you a complete view of your back and lateral sides. But there is a HUGE PROBLEM regarding your 'hint': you need to see the back of your car in your lateral mirrors because one of the lateral mirror's functions is to see the distance between your car and an obstacle (another car that is moving along with you, a tree etc.). Your advice is wrong!

Do not those big red dice hanging off your inside rear-view mirror create a forwarding viewing, traffic level, blind spot???

I disagree. if I'm backing up ,I wanna make sure there's no kid or animals or objects under my tire, but the way you set it up , you can't see what's behind ur right and left side tires.
