The basic tenet is, if you can see your car in the mirrors, your mirrors aren't adjusted properly. I know many people that feel they need to see the side of their car in the mirrors, then complain that they can't see cars in their quarter views.
I think that some vehicles certainly have poorer visibility compared to other vehicles. This is often true with two door sports cars where visibility is sacrificed for style.
New government courses on proper adjustment of mirrors require the government driver to have at least 1/3 of the vehich in their view at all times. Given this rule or not there are many blind sport in vehicles and more in older "covertibles"
I would believe that the governement tests are more accurate because the govt. is "self insured".....
Yeah, totally depends on the car, the 4th gen Corvette definitely has huge blind spots, you damn near can't see enough out the back of the car to back it up really.
First rule of Italian driving, you don't need to know what's behind you.
