Agreed Mark.
But, having a mirror that reduces the size of any blind spots is extremely helpful in preventing hitting the guy in front of you while you are rubber necking to view the blind spot(s). If I still had my 57 Belvedere 2 DR HDT I would slap a one of them round convex “cheaters” on my right side mirror even if it ain’t “right”. Turning into that Mack cement mixer ain’t “right” either. As I remember I did have a challenge getting the right mirror set so it would be of any real use. Can’t recall exactly what I did (It’s been 49 years since I sold it) but it did involve loosening the head to somehow get more adjustment out of it.
In today’s driving with today’s drivers it’s a small sweet spot between taking long enough to see what’s in your blind spot and what’s going on in front of you.

Every vehicle has a blind spot, even convertibles and motorcycles. Blind spot definition: "the area that cannot be seen in your mirror". Regardless of body style or mirror type, one should always check your blind spot (not your mirror) before changing lanes. Straight from the DMV!! Mark mjh Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android |
