I'm a much safer driver than most folks around here. I have my car mirrors set so I have NO blind spots at all. There are several videos on YouTube demonstrating how to set your mirrors this way. I've had my mirrors set like this for a couple of years now and it feels like I have eyes in the back of my head all the time without ever having to crane my neck around to see if there is anyone in my blind spot. I have no blind spots in my car. This works REALLY well for the RABs.

On a positive note, I learned to go to Youtube and find out how to set my side mirrors correctly to avoid blind spots!
