Re: Train was going 80MPH in 30MPH zone

Seeing a slice of your own car in the mirror is comforting, but it means you're missing a slice to the side, and that slice is often the one you need to see for a lane change. Mirrors are an aero drag, so they're just big enough and not more.

You don't need to see your own car in the mirror, because if you're driving it, your car is most certainly there. Instead, adjust the side mirrors so that they view an area starting about a foot outside your car. U can test this out in a parking lot to get comfortable.
If there's something 8 inches from your side, less than 2 feet wide and that sneaks up without showing otherwise, you're being tracked by a flying ninja assassin and are scr-wed anyway.
