About Car Mirrors

My name is Kevin Woods on behalf of expertvillage.com; phone number is (314) 584-0116. Basically this is your rear view mirror here and I have one as well so that I am able to see the same thing you are able to see. What you want to do is to adjust your mirror to where you don't have to move your head. You want to look straight ahead and only move your eyes to look out of your mirror. That way you are not using a lot of physical energy, mostly mental energy. Just your eyes moving back and forth. These two side mirrors are not for you to see your car but for you to see the car in the opposite lane. You may have to move up a little bit to see your mirrors. You may have to move a little bit to see your mirrors. You may have to move a little for physical adjustment to see your side mirrors and remember you don't use those mirrors to check your blind spots. That is the last thing you do if you are trying to change lanes. You actually check over your shoulder for a quick second, maybe even a millisecond of turning around and turning back around. The two side mirrors you want to make sure that they are adjusted for you to see car in opposite lane on both sides; the right side and the left side. Remember what they say, objects are closer than what they appear.
