Why do you need to see the car handles on your mirror? Most people say you don't need to see them and in fact when you stop seeing them is when you setup your mirrors perfectly.
Yeah idk now lol
Very true also means less of a turn your head motion to check your blindspot. I believe the best way to set up your mirrors is to lean slight to the left and move the mirror towards the left until the door handles and rear of car disappears. Same with the right mirror lean slightly to the right and move mirror to the right until the rear of your car disappears. So now when the car completely vanishes from your side mirror it should appear in the corner of your vision shortly after.
Do you do that after the pre-trip or before it, once the examinator gets in, Jacqueline?

I hope to see you and teach me

I hope that you can teach me
I want to know where is your location
I like your way in speaking and teaching

I'm not surprised so many get it wrong. They're being taught wrong. You are not using your side mirrors as well as you could. The side of the car is always going to be there. Set those side mirrors a little wider, you'll eliminate the blind spots.
Is it a good practice to increase the high of the seat?
I’m just worried if we met with an accident (god must be forbidden) we may hit our heads very to the roof of the car?
Thank you for your comment! Adjusting the height of your seat is a personal preference, but it's important to find a comfortable and safe position. While raising the seat too high can increase the risk of head injuries in the event of an accident, keeping it too low can compromise your visibility and control. A good practice is to adjust the seat height so that you have a clear view of the road and your head is comfortably positioned with some space between the top of your head and the roof of the car. Remember, wearing your seatbelt properly also plays a crucial role in protecting you during an accident. Drive safely!

I have increased my car seat’s height and now the view better than before. Thank you for your advice.
And what’s the recommended distance between the head and the roof as per you?
As for the recommended distance between your head and the roof, it's generally suggested to have a clearance of at least a few inches (around 2-4 inches) between your head and the roof of the car. This provides some buffer space in case of any sudden movements or bumps on the road. However, it's essential to find a position that is comfortable for you and doesn't compromise your visibility or control of the vehicle. Remember, safety should always be a top priority when adjusting your seat. Safe travels!
It irritates me how much people are teaching others to set your mirrors this way it’s so wrong .
