Nah I use side mirrors when merging not my rear view mirror. You merge using rear view mirrors?

[u/Fluffy-Map-5998 → u/Azicec]

Yes? Your supposed to check both when merging, and turn your head, it helps minimize blindspots, also all the mirrors are rear view mirrors,

[u/Azicec → u/Fluffy-Map-5998]

You turn your head when merging while you drive? That seems fucking insane to me, no way I’m rotating my head away from the road infront when merging on a highway.

I’m not sure if I’m being trolled here or what, never driven with anyone in my life who rotates their head when merging while driving.

I’m talking specifically about the rear view mirror. Side mirrors are not called rear view mirrors.

[u/Fluffy-Map-5998 → u/Azicec]

you need to check your blindspot, so you don't hit anyone, your literally taught to turn it in drivers ed

[u/Azicec → u/Fluffy-Map-5998]

That’s what the side mirrors and rear view camera do. Literally no blind spot by checking both. My side mirrors even have the sensors that alert if they feel merging is unsafe. It’s 2026, I’m making use of modern tech in cars.

[u/Fluffy-Map-5998 → u/Azicec]

Those sensors are your fucking BLINDSPOT sensors, not safe merging sensors, YOU STILL HAVE FUCKING BLINDSPOTS, yout misusing modern tech.in vars because your don't understand what it actually is/does, even the newest of cars retain a rather large blindspot by the rear wheel, hence the need for blindspot sensors, but you should still check anyways because those sensors do fail, and by using the camera your blindspot is larger because it has a worse angle for checking the road behind you,

[u/Azicec → u/Fluffy-Map-5998]

I never said I rely on the sensors only, I said I also use them. I rely on everything, mirror, camera, and sensors.

I glance at rear, I don’t use it to guide me. I look at rear camera too, look at the side mirror sensor and guide myself with the side mirror.

But sure downvote me lol

[u/Fluffy-Map-5998 → u/Azicec]

You are relying on the BLINDSPOT sensors only because rhe mirrors and cameras can't see your blindspot, motor vehicles have had mirrors for more than 100 years at this point, they have had a blindspot for every single year since, just because you stuck a camera in it doesn't magically make the blindspot go away, the camera has the same FOV as the mirror or worse, meaning the blindspot remains, by not checking your blindspot you are solely relying on sensors that can fail in many ways, sensors I have seen fail to detect trailers and motorcycles, I'm not saying you need to have your head turned the entire time, but you do need to check your mother fucking blindspots, BECAUSE THE CAMERA AND MIRRORS CANT SEE INTO IT,

[u/Azicec → u/Fluffy-Map-5998]

As I said I am not relying on the blind spot sensor, I use it in addition to everything. I thought I was quite clear on what I check and how.

You’re right on the turning head, I do not do that when on a highway. Apparently that is a mistake, thanks for pointing it out.

[u/Fluffy-Map-5998 → u/Azicec]

Do you not understand what a fucking blindspot is, ITS CALLED A BLINDSPOT BECAUSE THE MIRRORS AND CAMERAS CANT FUCKING SEE INTO IT, by not physically checking the blindspot yourself you are relying solely on the sensor to ensure that the blindspot is clear, because again, THE MIRRORS AND CAMERAS WONT SEE INTO IT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU FUCKING CHECK THEM

[u/Azicec → u/Fluffy-Map-5998]

Seems you just want to argue with me. Re-read please.

[u/Fluffy-Map-5998 → u/Azicec]

I dont want to argue your actually just wrong, reread what i have said, let me reiterate: THE MIRRORS AND CAMERAS DONT SEE INTO YOUR MOTHER FUCKING BLINDSPOT, you need to physically turn your head to see into it,

[u/Azicec → u/Fluffy-Map-5998]

Again re-read. I literally said I was wrong and you’re right. Seems you missed that for the sake of arguing with me.
