You do not need expensive equipment or complicated technology. You simply need to understand what each mirror is supposed to show you.
Start by setting your seat correctly, positioning your interior mirror, and adjusting your side mirrors using the outward-facing method. Then verify the view carefully and continue using shoulder checks whenever you change lanes.
Most importantly, do not make sudden adjustments while driving. Set everything up before moving and allow yourself time to become familiar with the result.
Final Thoughts: Have You Been Adjusting Your Mirrors Incorrectly?
The idea that you should see less of your own car in your side mirrors can sound strange, especially if you have been taught to keep the rear door or fender in view.
But the reasoning is simple: your mirrors should help you see the world around your vehicle, not waste too much of their limited viewing area showing something you already know is there.
