One tip which you probably know already but not everyone does: you can darken your rear view mirror by flipping the tab on the bottom. Unfortunately no equivalent for your side mirrors.
- whatevah5982 7y agoThe darkening is sufficient for regular cars, but it's almost useless when the headlight of the SUV behind you is at the driver's level :( I bought my car used a while ago, and it's now ~10 years old. I find the stock headlights to be perfectly adequate to drive in rural areas (and I live/drive regularly rural streets without street lights). The difference with newer cars though is _staggering_. It's not only SUVs.
- davidgay 7y agoAuto-dimming side-view mirrors now exist (as a package with an auto-dimming main mirror for Subaru at least).
- brewdad 7y agoI have these on my Volvo. They are great for avoiding bright headlights from behind but they make it virtually impossible to see a bike that may be approaching in the bike lane. Anything with headlights that aren't super bright becomes dim or virtually invisible.
