- After discussion on which way to set up your car door mirrors, I thought I'd have a look at both sides of the arguement. As always there may be information helpful to anyone. www.ashleyneal.com

I set mine so i see myself. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.
I do the opposite for...erm.....safety reasons...yeah that's it safety.....
🤣✌
The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) recently (early 2019) published the results of research they conducted here in the USA that recommends setting the mirrors wide. Their reasoning was to allow a transition from the center mirror to the door mirror to your peripheral vision when a vehicle is overtaking. I've tried this adjustment and it works well for me. Great point about the difference in road width between USA/Canada and UK/most of the rest of Europe.
Also you can lean over slightly to get the perspective with you car or for a 2nd rear view if yours is blocked.
Phil Leonard That's correct, I recently adjusted all my cars with the mirrors wide. They've been pretty helpful to avoid blind spots
I think i would trust the engineers more than these bazillion videos on CZcams of guys that just want to make videos.
@@benjaminabel8596 Why not just trust yourself the most and find out what suits you the most.
To me this is a no brainer. I need to see where my car is. And as a former bus driver I also needed to see where my back wheels were when turning and reversing. But also when driving straight.
@@th5841 I understand with a bus due to the lack of sight out the rear, but you need to see where your car is?
I agree with how you set your mirrors too. My instructor taught me to set it that way and to see 20% of the drivers side for this reason. I find this more beneficial then having the mirror adjusted so you can 'eliminate' your blind spot.
I set mine in this way , as taught by my driving instructor in 1986. Mirrors are your best friends. 👍🏻😎
I agree with you sir, I am in Uganda. We have what they call Boda Boda taxi (google) passenger motor cycles anyway. They have a tendency of creeping up on the side of the car. I think the way you set your mirrors works and suits me given our roads and the boda bodas. Thanks alot
This is probably my 50th video on how to properly adjust side mirrors. I set mine wide. But your video made a very important point which I'm going to incorporate especially at night. You mentioned instances where you're unable to use the rear view mirror. My windows are tinted, so at night, the rear view mirror is pretty useless. Setting my side mirrors wide at night is more of a problem than solution for me. A friend of mine drove my car and adjusted the mirror inwards to solve the problem for himself and it helped me but not without the occasional fear/guilt of doing it the "wrong way". However, after this video, I now have a day and night solution with my for my tinted car. Thank you very much
I remember (many moons ago) being taught to set up my mirrors to "eliminate the blind spot" - but all it did was make tight manoeuvres like parking trickier, as you demonstrated in the video. As soon as I had the presence of mind to try setting it up with the car just about visible, it was problem solved. Personally it gives me a better idea of where my car is in relation to vehicles behind me/in the next lane, and helps with regards to parking or revesing around corners, enhancing my ability to better see the kerb in relation to my wheels.
Being someone who has limited moment a restricted field of view over my shoulders due to my wheelchair headrest and seating, I have to use my mirrors even for reversing manoeuvres. I set my mirrors this way too as with wider view I lose my sense of perspective. My disability affects my depth perception so I’ve adapted and thanks to 25 years driving an electric wheelchair I find myself better at reversing and precision driving than most “normal” people in their cars!
I am here because I recently started to set my mirrors wider and although it gives a clear view of the lanes next to me it make it harder to judge the actual distance when changing lanes and being a defensive driver.
I prefer to have the mirrors in a bit closer and just to check with my peripheral vision personally. I feel I can calculate distance better this way.
100 % agree with you. Also useful when passing a line parked cars, you can easily judge how much space you have available should you need to move over for oncoming traffic.
The other advantage to setting your mirrors like that is that you always know where they are. My mirrors will move with large vibrations, and so if my view doesn't include the car, I can't tell whether it's been knocked further out of view, because of how different each road and car is.
If my mirror gets knocked whilst it's seeing the car, I can tell how far it has nudged since I use a marker on my car such as the door handle.
You are spot on mate!!!! That is exactly how i set mine for the very reasons you have specified!
Good videos Ashley, well explained - in that you made the pros & cons clear so drivers can make their own minds up about mirror set-up, and also make appropriate head movements to compensate for the set-up the adopt. I learnt to drive with “wing mirrors” (both convex) so having a flat door mirror makes reversing a piece of cake (remembering that you also always look through your rear window during any reversing manoeuvre, unless it’s obstructed or you’re in a van.
Mr. Ashley Neal, I agree with you totally and this is coming from a guy driving in Canada since 1985. Been pig headed blindly following more than one school of thought and your way is what I have been doing for quite a while too. I believe it should work in any country but then I religiously do a shoulder check.
Would like anyone to try this: doing exactly what you are doing but with one little twist, when adjusting the right side mirror, you hold a blind over the right eye, with the left eye seeing a slither of your own bodywork; do the same on the other blinding over the left eye. What is with all the hassle you might say? Because we are used to seeing with both eyes. The benefit is that you get better depth perception, better judgement of the speed and position of other vehicles. Try it and you will see the difference and increased confidence in manoeuvering in congested traffic. Hope that helps.
I prefer mirrors set with some of the car in view. On motorways or tricky city lane changes I always double check over my shoulder anyway. Pleased to hear this is considered correct!
Luna McLean A motorbike, cyclist or pedestrian cn still be hidden in a blind spot even with the mirrors set wider. Therefore you still have to check it. So why reduce the info you get from the mirrors if you still have to perform the same blind spot checks?
The mirror positioning isn't forced onto you when you're learning. It's suggested because of how much easier it makes reversing along side the kerb, etc as it gives you a fixed point of reference that you can compare with your surroundings. When you're learning, it helps to have visual things to figure out what needs done. Imagine trying to learn how to use a computer keyboard for the first time without being able to see what each key does. Until you learn where the corners of the car are it really helps a lot to be able to see them when manoeuvring, in the same way seeing all the labeled keys of a keyboard before learning where each key is.
I prefer to have mine with my car slightly out of view of the mirror when I'm sitting straight. If I want to see my own car for some reason I can lean slightly. This gives a wider angle of view for that quick check if I'm doing a lane change or something and somehow missed a car there. But if I need to reverse along a curb or something I just lean in a little. Granted my rear view center mirror is almost always clear, and I use it frequently as well.
Considered by who specifically?
@@benjaminabel8596 wouldn’t expect a reply, this is the shit that happens when you let your partner use your login on you tube, they start posting comments, then 3 years later I get emails saying someone’s replied to a comment I know nothing about.

@@benjaminabel8596 by a driving instructor, at least
Thank you Ashley. I always struggle with whether I am close enough when I park in a bay to the line . I am always too far away and I also think that when I see the bonnet disappear that I am close enough and have never got it right. This video has helped me to probably work it out
I have the same car as you and I set my mirror a bit like what you suggested...but slightly see less the side of my car but just enough to see both door handle. My driving instructor taught me this and it's working well for me.
I agree with you. It's important to see part of your own car in a lot of situations.
Personally I lower the mirror to the point I can see the kerb in order to make easier the parallel parkings
Very good video. It shows advantages and disadvantages of both methods of setting the door mirrors. Most videos show about setting the mirrors wide, which could be more useful where road lanes are wide (eg US, Canada). My roads are narrow, and I have set my mirrors all along as you suggested ie include a bit of the car's edge. I will try to reduce the edge coverage to a sliver, to get the best of both worlds ie relative position of neighbouring cars and a bit wider coverage. Tks for producing a balanced video.
I agree with you Ashley my mirrors skim the side of my vehicle. When I was learning to drive PSV/PCV (1981) we were taught one third bus 2 thirds road, but our instructor told us as we gain more experience we can reduce that one third to just skim the vehicle. same rules applied when I was learning HGV/LGV (1995) but these days I only need to skim the side of the trailer.
I was taught to set mirrors as you say. Very useful for judging position within the lane and for parking
I actually remember my instructor telling me more then 30 years ago exactly what you are saying.
I do as you suggest. Another benefit, is that seeing your own car gives you a reference point, so not only can you see how close someone is to the side, I think it also makes it easier to judge how far behind they are. I've driven a lot of vans and lorries, and usually they have big mirrors. If so I try to set them so I can see the rear tyre where it meets the road too, so I can see exactly how far from the kerb I am. Obviously this usually isn't possible on cars, although if you have electric mirrors you can tilt them down a bit for parking. Some models even do this automatically when you engage reverse (Vauxhalls IIRC).
I set mine fairly much as Ashley does (slightly wider perhaps but with the side of the car just in view). Increasingly, the interior mirror on modern cars is an ornament being good only for checking the colour of the rear head-rests and C-pillars. I also think this adjustment is good as, before changing lanes I move my head forward slightly to see round the B-pillar and as I do this the view in the door mirror moves out as well thus giving the best of both adjustments.
I would have always set my mirrors to see some of my car too. It gives you some sort of context of what you are looking at.
I use those circular fisheye mirrors on mine, which are great for parking if you don't have sensors.
I set my mirrors similarly to the way you do, but I angle mine up slightly (maybe because I'm tall?) and I set my left mirror a little bit wider than my right so I can see a bit of blind spot, which I find useful for slip roads on the motorway for example, but not to the extreme that you did in the first example.
At 2:53 your side mirror shows “the van is still following us,” which the “rear view mirror” would also show. But at 2:55 your “side mirror” also shows that while performing well as a “rear view mirror,” it was NOT performing its intended function of showing a vehicle on the “side” of your vehicle, which suddenly emerges from the blind spot and appears right beside you.
Which vehicle is more important to see if you were going to change lanes? The one you would HIT, or the van you would pull in front of?
At 2:20 you give the valid reason for adjusting your mirrors this way: Your vehicle lacks a “rear view mirror,” or it is obstructed. IN THAT CASE the “side mirrors” need provide the information that the “rear view mirror” would normally provide.
At 1:45 you would be able to tell “how far away” or “how far behind” that vehicle is by checking your “rear view mirror.” If it wasn’t visible in your “rear view mirror,” it’s more beside you, than behind you. If a vehicle is visible ANYWHERE in your side mirror, you can’t move into that lane.
When backing into a parking space, relying on your side mirror leaves all the area behind your vehicle and anything you may hit or run over totally obscured. Turning your upper body toward the center of the car and looking out the “rear window” provides the best view to the “rear.” Both side mirrors can be used to SUPPLEMENT that view.
2:40 setting the mirrors like this doesn’t give you enough information, I totally agree with you mate.
i have always set my mirrors with part of my car visible because you get way more information about what is around you
In my pinion you should set both door mirrors to see a minimal sliver of each side of your vehicle. This orientates you as has been said on the video. The height of view should be so that you can see vehicles in the distance too but I like to have the near-side mirror set lower for parking but not so low as to not be able to see a good distance back.
As a commercial driver in Canada, you are correct about the mirror placement. Seeing a very small portion of your vehicle gives you an instant idea of where you are spatially when you check your mirrors. While driving, all drivers should be constantly scanning their mirrors. The addition of a small 2” convex mirror may help with a stubborn blind spot that persists on some makes of vehicles.
Check any commercial vehicle and they most always have 2 mirrors on the left and right side of the vehicle with one being convex. My commercial vehicle has great visibility due to all the mirrors and a commanding views of the road.
1:52 I totally agree with you mate, you need to be able to judge how close or how far away you are from objects, it’s pretty much impossible for example to reverse properly without seeing a little bit of your car for perspective.
exactly what I was looking for
Yes! for the offside I would find having the mirror set up with a small part of the vehicle shown maybe a slightly bit higher for me personally ( personal preference) but, overall very similar. But, what about the nearside mirror how should that be set ( similar or different) due to being on the nearside. As the nearside is just as important as the offside one.
Set it wide is my way to go. If you want to see if a vehicle is following you, simply look at the inside rear view. I usually set mine up so that the side mirrors continue where i can't see on the inside one for maximum vision. And now a days most cars have power mirrors. So when parking/reversing, it's easy to adjust if needed.
I think you're right. To be fair the other method can work but it depend of the road. It's much easier to park with your method too as you have a visible point of référence.
what do you think of the attachment 'blind spot mirrors' you can get? and I had to fast forward to your setting of the mirror. for me the wide setting is so wrong. I do agree with the seeing where you are on the road part and as you've previously said about braking you can see what is behind you in your setting of the mirror. good info for new drivers.
I have my mirrors set like you have although I can see the potential advantage on the motorway. Some learners appear to be taught or at least don't bother checking their blind spot when moving in towards the left lane and I've had one incidence where a 40-odd year old woman, leaning over her steering wheel undertook me, and it was only because I'd noticed she'd dissapeared from view that I checked to see if she'd accelerated into my blind spot.
Lucky that I did, I was doing 70 while she was apparently doing track racing, all the while ignoring my signals.
Very good information regarding side mirror setting . Can you please tell how far the car is if it looks at various positions on side mirror in the perspective of changing lane .
I can see the benefits of both but for most of my driving i prefere wide settings, thanks for the insight in the pro's and con's!
Not being funny but having mirror wide how do you know there isn't a bicycle right next to your car in the blind spot you have made
@@fatman2570 Tilt your head closer to the mirror your looking at.
@@jellyii8886 Mmmm not good answer, you should be looking in mirrors constantly set up so you don't have to tilt head.
Thanks for posting this.
I have always wondered if I was setting them correctly (I am)
But now I wonder about the vertical axis..
I generally have my mirrors as low as possible, so I can see my rear wheels when reversing. But as a priority I ensure I can see the gutter of the (2 floor) house behind me.
Maybe I need some of those extra mirrors...
Thank you sir for this video now i am totally clear..... i saw lots of videos but did not get them properly.....
Thanks for watching :)
The mirrors seems to be one of the (more recent?) ones with the expanded view range, so I think that's why the setup works okay with your car. Some cars have quite a narrow field of range which needs the mirrors out more to see effectively.
si get yourself a little stick on blind spot mirror, although to be fair, very few mirrors aren't slightly convex nowadays.
I've always set mine up with some of the car visible.
If you can't see just a little of your car in the door mirrors, then you can't see what's in the gap between your car and what you can see.
The biggest blindspot is between your peripheral vision and what you can see in the door mirror. That's why you should always look over your shoulder changing lanes.
You can; in the middle mirror. Seeing the side just makes the images from the middle and side mirrors overlap.
@@benjaminabel8596 No necessarily.
Incorrect, you’re describing a non-existent blind spot. When you set the mirrors wide, you set them so there is a small overlap between what the rear view can see and what the side views can see. What you’re describing *can* happen if you set the mirrors too wide, creating a new blind spot.
@@willb3636 You just agreed with me you absolute melt.
Benjamin:
Looks like we're dealing with a pair of Americans here...!
One is advocating turning your head to your 9 or 3 o'clock position for vehicles prior to lane merging while piloting a 2.5ton object along at 90-120KMH, and setting their mirrors so that they have in effect three rear view mirrors! smh... 🤦♂️
I’m American and this was very helpful
This is a really useful video
I needed advice on how to set my exterior mirrors. My instructor said for to see just abit of the rear of your car. But it depends on what car you are driving right? Anyway after watching this video I have made some re-adjustments and I think I have mine set up similar to you. (The second way that is not the very wide way). Wish me luck.
I also set my side mirrors to show the side of the vehicle I'm driving for two reasons: (a) it moves the blind spot beside the car further out from the car and further forward, far enough forward that it's very easily checked with an over the shoulder glance to let you spot the small motorcycle that snuck into the spot; (b) mirrors are often knocked slightly out of alignment in car parks, if you have the mirror set to show the side of the car and that view changes it's instantly obvious to you when you check the mirrors before driving off, while a mirror set to show a wider view is not so easily noticed when slightly nudged out of alignment.
Great video, thanks!
some cars like Toyota C-HR with thik B pillars and, small rear and passenger windows, I find it very difficult to be sure about cyclist in my blind spot even if I look over my shoulder. It feels like a leap of faith without blind spot monitoring system. What do you suggest the driver should do in those type of car?
I have always had my side mirrors adjusted so that you see the side of the car, as it does give you more information on the surroundings.👍🤛
You have a much better view if they are set about 2 feet away from the rear side of your mirror. There is nothing going to fit within that 2 ft. You have a view of what's to your right from 6 to 12 o'clock.
The SAE method is what I like. I disagree on not being able to proberly judgie the distance of the vehicles in the mirror to the side, with the SAE method, it actually really helps me. I do use an additional blind spot mirror to cover the sides of the vehicle. Both methods have pro's and cons.
I set mine with my rear door handle in the lower near corner (the one nearest to the car) and have not had issues so far, a bit wider than Ashley's, but not that much.
I set my mirrors using the SAE method. I suck at parking but I use blindspot mirrors for that. Use your actual mirrors for driving which you will do most of the time. Then use your blindspot or parking mirrors.
I tend to run my field of view parallel to the side of the car, from the position that my head is on the head rest from my chosen seating position. If I want a bit more view of the car for parking, I can always move my head right or left. My car has no middle seat though. I don't like the mirror really far out because then I don't know where I am on the road as clearly.
For the vertical direction I like it so that the horizon of a long level road appears halfway up the mirror. If there are a lot of hills, the field of view may change but in general this works well.
Please give us more tips and videos like this
I like to make sure I can pick out the white lines when reversing in parking areas. Also, I live on a steep hill where I have to reverse into my space.
I do it with the door handle barely visible so I can see my car, but it's pretty easy to see it if it's set wide, you just lean towards the mirror a bit. And judging distance is very simple. If you can see both headlights you can change lanes (that's pretty close, so I wouldn't recommend it though).
I do prefer the way whereyou can see the yout own car in the mirror like in the video and for blindsport in the opposite mirror (UK left/ NL and other country's the right mirror) if there is someone sitting next to you can you the reflaction on your own car to look a bit to that blind spot wat the person next to you creates.
Do you only use one mirror?
Amazing video.
Thank you for this video
Can you do a video on driving on snow and ice thanks
2:55 DUDE, you have 3 mirrors for a reason. I have set my mirrors exactly like that and the only problem i had is that i didn't know if i was about to curb my wheels. Problem solved however by tilting them downwards, easy if you have automatic mirrors because they can do just that without you having to adjust them. I have been driving like that since 8 years without problems.
Also, setting the mirror wide, what if a bicycle or motorbike intends on filtering at traffic lights, and you are going to be making a left turn, and just as the bike gets to the car, the lights turn green, but the bike is just at your door panel but out of mirror view and they are going a little too fast and can't stop in time. Because you can't see the side of the car, you can see things very close to it. Same for pulling away from the side of the road, even if you do a shoulder check it's very easy for the object the be in your blind spot everywhere you check.
I'm with you 100% Thanks
That's the best way... thank you.
Great content thanks
Kindly make a video on how to set inside rare veiw mirror [IRVM].
3:02 In a vehicle with rear window, I turn around in my drivers seat and look ot the back window! I NEVER use backup cameras or my mirrors to back up.
Tried n true method of backing into a parking space, or parallel parking, been doing it that way for decades
I set mine to just see a portion of the rear of the car; from the rear door handle back. In the van it's the same but of course no rear door handle and damn if that thing hasn't got some awful blind spots you just can't cover. Especially on the nearside where you can't do a shoulder check.
I set my mirrors at a happy medium between these two ways..... I see very little of the vehicle, typically the top the the fender at the tail end of either side of the vehicle at the inner most lower corner of my mirror so that I can see the relative position of my vehicle in the lane as well as vehicles to.the side and behind me..... This in my mind is actually the easiest way to set up your mirrors so you don't really have to change them if you're towing a trailer behind your vehicle
As a professional driver with a lot of experience of the wing mirrors being also the rear view mirror it's quite simple, set your mirrors to catch just a bit of the rear quarter of your car and you'll do fine, fine adjust to taste.
This is definitely the best way to set the mirrors over here in India. Tight spaces on the road, tiny parking spaces. Also suitable for highways over here.
Awesome video....totally agree with you 💯
This is how I was taught to set my mirrors
I like to see mostly the road and traffic and some of my car too and keep it the same when parking so can see my car and others
Mine are set to see the rear wheels and everything outwards. If you need to see more, just lean.
If they're too far out, you can't lean past the window and won't catch a view in the start of the blind spot.
You can see the wheels in your door mirrors? Are they not set too low?
@@danielpresley5796 He must have big monster truck tires!! lol
Hmm even though i've set my mirrors like that i still tend to lose parking spot lines. Hmm have to re-check those things
Thanks for mentioning at last for NA. Guess who recommended the wider way, and say your way is wrong? AAA. And their judgement is much more based on America's case.
people who have their mirrors on the frame: i guess i can't watch this.
For me, the only true blind spot is when you drive in reverse (for parking) and you find out that the C pillar is huge and obstructs an entire angle between your back window and the back passenger window - and there is where setting the side mirror exactly as Ashley said could help you a very lot - especially if there is a parking spot with small kids playing around - .
If you set the Mirrors "wide" you create blinds spots as you demonstrate. Has someone that drove commercially with no interior mirror you live on your mirrors so need them Right!
Drivers side is set in my cars a bit higher than near side as need distance and area more but just skims side of car with lowest point just behind bumper so that way can see height also as you might need to be looking back up a hill so closing traffic is higher than you are which could be travelling a lot faster than you so you need to see and plan movement so if mirror is looking at floor there on you!.
Near side is set lower angled so can see rear corner/bumper/Back wheel for placing on reversing and anything creeping round! at bottom of mirror.
But both can just see side of car so if quickly need to check if have to avoid something/someone like "Twonk" on a bicycle that just rode straight through redlights on a junction almost into the side of me so without having to move head/Get the Calculator out to workout how far and where i was from anything glanced to see if clear and moved over so Twonk didn't hit me!
Also when looking ahead with mirrors set that way i can see with peripheral vision things going on in side mirrors so can quickly workout if a threat or not.
But when driving or is it Aiming for some? you can always move your head so can change angle of view either steeper or narrower even things quite far out to the sides.
Far too many think door mirrors are just a fashion accessory stuck on doors for looks! as see so many that the mirror is left/set/dangled/banged/whatever into some odd angle that not sure what they'd see if ever used them but sure not anything close to them on the road!
And UK Highway code/Construction and Use regs state have to have TWO functioning mirrors so just interior is asking for fine/points and often is an ask for further interest from Plod
You give a clear and very good information.
There is a precedent for this. In the desert in the second world war , and in the Balkans in the 90's various decoys like dummy tanks and railways were scaled down , and still worked. Without a sense of scale and relative position it can just look like cars on a stretch of road. And a Lifesaver check over the shoulder can also help , if the slip road or main road is on a gradient or in certain lighting conditions.
To your point about not being able to judge the distance of the car to your side at 1:39, it's simple enough. You have space to change lanes if you can see both headlights or only the outside headlight. If you only see the inside headlight, then the car is too close for you to change lanes.
Should just set it too wide, then too narrow, and just work out the middle ground until it works out (haha!). The "correct" way is simply "neither too wide or too narrow", and the parameters are rear visibility (wide) and perspective (narrow).
Watching you car in the mirror is good for reference but your setting is showing a bit large portion of car. You can set it a bit more wider to see just a minimal of your car side for reference. It will be the mix of both worlds with side reference and maximum blind spot prevention.
The bigger question here is why do we have to choose. Mirrors should be good enough to cover both of these areas. My old fiesta had a curved section at the end that almost eliminated the blindspot.
My new one doesn't, presumably to save a miniscule amount of drag.
Yepp...blind spot is the enemy lurking...in the blind spot!
But I am setting my mirrors just enough to be able to see the two lines and a half of the blind spot...so I have more references...if I need I can still move my head.
No brainer is right, do you have a partially convex side mirror? No way you don’t have a blind spot with conventional mirrors. The what if I can’t use my rear view mirror is bollocks too, set your mirrors to conditions. In a modern motor you have memory positions for mirrors so porque no los dos? I recently needed to drive monocular after an accident so my head check was ineffective. I’ve run both types of setting (with an extra blind spot mirror windscreen mounted) & the difference is amazing. With wider orientated side mirrors I can track traffic from behind to alongside perfectly. Perhaps your context should be if you aren’t on the m1 or regularly changing lanes. Without such context you encourage people to drive with higher risk for convenience of parking. Oh yeah, the reason I’ve been driving monocular is because a car driver didn’t see me & ran me over…
Have them all the way out with round blind spot mirrors stuck on the inside portion of mirror showing your car and road beside you.
I think that is the best. You get to see the sides of the vehicle in the convex mirror, it can help with parking, and reversing, and you have a really good view of cars next to you with the regular mirror.
cities and town traditional setup, for highways SAE setup because u will never loose sight of the rear objects if u use L R C mirror. And there is something called practice. Traditional is comfy but new way doing things take bit of practice.
The mirror setup with you not seeing your car is supposed to make you be able to see the cars that you dont see in rearview mirror in the sides and the other way around.
2:25 How can you see where that van is you said. Surely you're able to move your head just an inch or two to see the side of your car. For over 30 years that is the way I set my mirrors. I find it hard to believe because you have them adjusted this way you cannot judge how far the van is as in video.
I just lean over a little bit if i want to park
I prefer to have my mirrors positioned so I can only just glimpse the side of my vehicles on both sides without leaning my head left or right.
I think your way is the best way, But it would be a lot better if all car manufacturers would but split mirrors on all cars and that would eliminate the blind spot and still see the side of your car .
Helo it is correct in the way it is beginner softer
In city I adjust to see my car , in highway I adjusted to see next line no my car
