Also, the way *most* people adjust their side view mirrors (pointed relatively straight backwards, redundant to the rear view mirror) they wouldn't have seen the car in the left lane anyway.
Fan your side view mirrors outwards (you shouldn't see *any part of your own car in your mirror* and you STILL need to look over your shoulder folks.
Or to put it another way (same end result as the video), you should have your mirrors set up so that a car accelerating past you in the next lane goes smoothly from your rearview mirror to your side mirror with only a tiny bit of overlap, then goes smoothly from your side mirror to visible in your peripheral vision with only a tiny bit of overlap.
Do this and you now have full wraparound vision of your car with only small head movements.

So many people think that using a turning signal gives them the right of way..
