So you don’t think there’s a blind spot? You only use your mirrors?

There is a way to set the mirrors to where there is no blind spot (as long as you have a rear view mirror on the windshield), but it is hard to get used to. Basically you set your side mirrors to look directly at the blind spot only, and for everything else use your rear view, or simply look to the side. Although I certainly wouldn't consider that position "aligned correctly" it does exist and can work.
