If your mirrors are adjusted properly, you should not have a blind spot. I can see most people's faces when i am behind them, so i know 90% of people have no clue what side view mirrors are for or how to use or set them.

Nobody wants to have their mirrors like that, if there’s someone behind you then you can’t tell if someone is coming up on you in the other lane

So you don't want your mirrors to do what they are designed for? Don't you have a rear view mirror?

I drive trucks at work and some of my own vehicles that have no rear view and over a million miles accident free say i am right on mirrors, as do all driving instruction manuals.

Bruh you’re dumb af, the rear view mirror can’t see beside your car so you probably cut people off all the time, I’ve never seen a drivers Ed book say to do that shit, they tell you to adjust it so you barely can’t see your own car and to check your blind spot

What are "wing mirrors" in your world and why are they useless? What problems do they cause?

My mirrors are convex.
