This is what every youtube tutorial should aspire to be. Straight to the explanation no bs intro or outro. simple short but effective!
I also particularly like his calm, straight-forward delivery. It relaxes me and makes me even more receptive to the message.
What gain is there to us up 25% of your mirror to see your car. Much better to see more to your right by 25%. No wonder the majority drivers have blind spots.
Exactly. No waffling on. Clear and simple 👍
Just subscribed. Started to watch your videos and I love them. Picking up your great advice although I passed my driving test 43 years ago.
God Bless you sir. I’ve had troubles with reversing mainly because my mirrors weren’t proper.
when training as a pdi i was always taught the horizon should be mid height in the mirror but ive always preferred to have my mirrors tilted slightly down with the horizon a bit higher as in this video as it still allows you to see way back up the road but the slight downwards tilt also helps you see things like the kerb which is particularly helpful on certain manouevres so you dont need to re adjust your mirrors
about the horizon position,very different from other people said. I will have a try. thank you.
Thanks a lot. I try to make the instructional videos as simple as possible.
Ashley Neal animation looks better so get them in your videos to make them more understandable. Thanks!
Thanks you! Quick question i tend to curb my alloys quite a bit so should I be able to see a bit of the wheels when setting up the mirrors?
A bonus in my case ...
Excellent instruction. Thank you!
Hi Ashley. I've been a full licence holder for 50 years and I absolutely love your instruction videos as I feel we never stop learning . Do you think blind spot mirrors are a worthwhile accessory
works and looks wonderful
I never knew about the horizon point, so that was worth it alone! I find being able to view both door handles works on my Kia Picanto.
You get enough of the car side (not too much) & still maximise the view.
Fantastic. Well explained
Genius!! Thanks loads.
2 years after passing and I still use this video all the time 😂
Great video mate .
I have the same Audi but can’t get both handles in the left side mirror? How should I set it?
Thank you good clear video. We've just bought a 'new to us' Kia Ceed 2018 and it has a feint line down the outer edge of the wing mirrors about 1.5" in. What us that for?
The part of the mirror on the outside of that line is likely a wider-angled section (eg more convex in the horizontal plane) intended to reduce the blind spot.
@@benalias5766 Thank you
Great Vid, will double check my vanishing point tomorrow 👍 Liked & Subbed 😎
Thanks mate 👍
Merci beaucoup
Thanks
Hi Ashley what about seeing the ground for example when reverse parking so you can see lines?
with the way he has set up the mirror in the video you should be able to see the lines when reversing no problem... maybe rise up your head a little but that's all:)
@@danielg4482 When I adjust my mirrors to fill the blindspots, I cannot see the highway directly next to my vehicle. When parking, I adjust my mirrors to give me maximal situational awareness.
Thanks for this video. I had a new vehicle and this help me out alot.
My pleasure!
@@ashley_neal is that for both side mirrors
No shit just the wisdom. God bless you.
Im having driving lessons atm and this works really well on the drivers side but on the passenger side cant see both the door handle and horizon at the same time as i need the mirror pointed to far down. This messes up most reference points for parking (The car must be bent or something) but jokes aside im having a hard time with it.
When parking, I adjust my mirrors so I can monitor my position in relation to parking guidelines and other vehicles. Honestly, next time I'm in my vehicle, I plan to check my mirror adjustment, thinking about what Ashley is saying here. I have been in error before. This morning.
I always knew I could do that but I've not seen a fully licensed driver have to so I didn't want to either but I got comfortable in the and past test early last year
Interesting
Guess my mirrors were a tad showing too much of the car
I really dont like driving 4 doors, Need a coupe with a hatch back one day where theres nearly 0 blind spot haha
Also buy blind spot mirrors and stick them on the outside bottom of each mirror. $1 each.

If you're 6 feet tall, and have a 3 door corsa, you cannot see out of the driver's mirror ( unless you want your knees against the damn dash), as it won't move any further. Hell, I had to get 2 blindspot mirrors!
I have been driving for a month I didn’t know how to set the mirror
I prefer to have a bit of sky in case there is a hill behind me
Or an aeroplane making an emergency landing.
So what about the left one....
Nice audi A3 ;)
Thanks Kristian. I only use it occasionally for teaching learners. It's mostly used for teaching instructors. Shame it's only a 1.6 diesel and not an RS3! Thanks for watching :)
teaching in an audi?? damnnnn
1.6 still nice plus better tax rates lol i drive a wee .1.2 clio
@@trapsoulx Bill Plant use Audi A3s for teaching learners.
I get bad habit to glance at the mirrors for too long!
what's the car?
Jaroslav Ručkay ml. I think it’s a BMW 1 Series.
Plz give subtitle it will benefit
There's two ways to set up your door mirrors. One which eliminates blind spots (however, you won't be able to see your own vehicle in the mirror, unless you lean to the respective side). And one which does not eliminate blind spots (the method in this video). However, you should move your mirror more towards the right. You're still seeing more car than you need to. You really just need to see a tiny bit. And second, you're mirror is tilted down too much. The horizon should be about in the middle of the mirror. Maybe a bit higher than the middle, but just a bit. The horizon is way higher than it needs to be on your mirror.
Some One set the horizon near the top. We don’t need to watch the planes 👍
If the horizon is too far up, you won't be able to see far down the road on a slope.
@@ashley_neal 😂yeah,haha,real talk.
@@johannesgutenburg6425 he is right tho
Masih Razegh 1 year to reply? Great sumshine
Why didn't you show the position of the passenger side door mirror
Ask any traffic police officer is that the way they set their mirrors and they will tell you that's not the proper way. They'll tell you the correct way is to set them that you will not be able to see the side of your car. If you have to see it then you just need to bit of head movement. That the correct way.
No need to see the car in the side mirrors. If anything, you only need a teeny tiny sliver. you don't need to see the rear handles. That way creates blind spots.
I set them that sitting in an upright position the closest you can see is just less than the width of a bicycle from the back right of my car. This gives you a much wider view to see cars to your right. Seeing any of your car is no advantage whatsoever. . If you're moving to the right or left, parking, reversing, you move your head and body. Without realising it people do it.
Its only experienced drivers do that!
Unfortunately that is incorrect. There's no reason to see a portion of your car and the side view mirror. All that causes is a blind spot. The mirror needs to move out further
Seems like johny sin brother
One of the rare times I have watched one of your vids that I somewhat disagree. If you can see the side of your car, you have over-large blind spots on your sides. I adjust my mirrors so as a vehicle, say, overtaking, is leaving my view in the center mirror, it is entering my field of view in the appropriate side mirror. There is professional opinion that supports this, I could try to find a reference if anyone is interested. I always try to drive so folks are not forced to overtake on my off-hand side, nope not illegal to pass on passenger in all jurisdictions, it should be,
Wait dude is that a road rage?
The dude just knocked your side mirror off
Angry motorist!
I think you're seeing too much of your own car there. I personally would go as far out as possible while still seeing a tiny bit of my own car.
I agree. I adjust to see a tiny bit of my car, sometimes none of it.
Just see the door handles on mine
I thought this was the scariest video you have uploaded. I thought you were going to hit the red Renault. And that white van was pretty keen to get past you, and you couldn't see it.
I don’t understand why people feel the need to see in their side mirrors what they can already see in their rear view mirror. The proper way to set side mirrors is to have just a little overlap with the rear view mirror. You do not want to see the side of your car, as that indicates you’re seeing what your rear view can see.
Nope.
I would not recommend this setup. Side mirrors should see only a little bit of the car, and the horizon should be in the middle. Your setup is looking too much at the ground. It's good for parking but not good at fighting blind spots
Don't be like me and drive off with your mirrors still folded in.
I've had so many lessons and 3 instructors now. Not one of them has advised this but it makes complete sense to me. If I ever asked it'd always be; "Half 'n half" which, as you say just shows loads of useless sky.
I'm really struggling with reverse bay parking and seeing the lines to confirm if I'm in or not. Faffing around with dropping the mirrors and remembering to return them has added an extra layer of complexity and worry. I understand that if I resume normal driving with the mirrors pointed towards the floor that's an immediate fail.
As a passenger I always wondered why I never saw anyone else dropping their mirrors during the manoeuvre and wondered what was wrong with me. Hopefully this is the answer.
Test tomorrow. Hopefully I pass.
Good Luck!
@@ashley_neal Thanks a lot.
@@Bangandthedirtisgone so did you pass?? 😀
@@HSFrox With no faults! Or at least the examiner said none worth recording. Was a breeze tbh as the guy was super laid back. Also the only reverse manoeuvre I was asked to do was pull up on the right and reverse two car lengths so managed to avoid all the bits I was most anxious about. 🙌🏻
@@Bangandthedirtisgone fantastic! Well done and good to hear luck was on your side regarding the manoeuvres 😉
