Driver 'blind spot' is a myth. When setting up your exterior mirrors correctly with respect to your driving position, there should be overlapping image between the inside rear vision mirror and appropriate exterior mirror.

Most people set their mirrors so they can see the sides of their cars when the driver is seated and facing the front. That setup is incorrect. The external mirrors need to be aimed further outwards so the sides of the car are not visible. You need to be able to see cars in adjacent lanes.

1- Get into the proper driving position.

2- Lean to your right so that your right cheek is pressing up against the door window. Then adjust your driver side mirror so you can just barely see the edge of the vehicle.

3- Lean to your left so your head is right in the centerline of the vehicle, adjust the passenger side mirror so you can barely see the edge of your vehicle.

4- Center mirror lines up straight back.

5- What blind spot?
