Each year, more and more gadgets are added to the equipment lists of new cars. But it's not just gadgets. Simple features, such as extendable sun visors and wide-angle side mirrors, are also popping up. I’m all about the former, but the verdict is still out on the latter.
These mirrors were designed to help eliminate blind spots; but if you are having a hard time adjusting to this mirror-in-mirror accessory, here are some tips to help set your mirrors correctly and eliminate blind spots:
- Most people adjust the side mirrors so they can see the side of the car, not realizing this creates big blind spots.
- Instead, adjust the mirrors so that the side of the car is just out of view, decreasing the size of your blind spots.
- For the driver's side, lean toward the window, and the side of the car should come into view. Lean a little toward the center of the car to adjust the passenger-side mirror accordingly.
- If the side mirrors are set correctly, a car that passes you should move from the rearview mirror to the side mirrors, without disappearing in a blind spot.
