- Whether you're a seasoned driver or just getting your license, chances are the way you set the car's side mirrors is all wrong. The National Motorists Association and Triple A says there is a better way.
All drivers have had that moment when they start to change lanes and all of a sudden there is a car that came out of no where. Typical side mirror settings showing car's rear actually creates the blind spot.
Safer driving starts with proper side mirror adjustment, eliminating those blind spots.
First of all, you don't need to see your own car when you look in the mirror. You know what it looks like and it's not going anywhere. The trouble comes when other vehicles and motorcycles leave your view.
To properly adjust your driver's side mirror:
- Lean over to the left almost touching your head to the side window
- Adjust the mirror where you just barely see the left back corner of your car
To properly adjust the passenger side mirror:
- Lean to the right and with your head directly above the center console, adjust the passenger mirror where you barely see the right back corner of your car
- Back in the driver's position, you will NOT see your trunk
The rear view mirror is a bit easier
how far should u tilt it up or down? u never say
Yea. That must be the perfect mirror setting for both the city and highway travel, as you demonstrated in the video. But if we want to back the vehicle into a narrow parking street, bay, or a ramp, which is 4 feet high from the road, connected to a house gate, I think the mirror setting should be exactly set such way that you can view both the left and right C pillars of your car and the edges of back fenders, just not to hit any object behind close to your vehicle. Moreover, in situations where there is any pit hole or drainage ditch, I think, we ought to further down the ORVM to make the tires of our vehicle not falling in that areas, ought we? Please clarify.
With this method what would u do when u have to reverse park? You lose sight of back of your vehicle with these settings.
+Saima Mosawwir while reversing you need to use your brain not mirro LOL

She is correct.
Her report is based on a study by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Here is a Car and Driver article about it, www.caranddriver.com/features/how-to-adjust-your-mirrors-to-avoid-blind-spots
