Blind spots are self-induced. I've never driven a consumer vehicle where I couldn't adjust my mirrors properly to get rid of blindspots.

- K0balt 2y agoYou’ve never had the pleasure of driving my car lol, I think they got the mirror curvature wrong or something. I had to put one of those convex stick on things just to see decently, but it’s distracting and adds to cognitive load to use two mirrors instead of one to see the right side.
