Spotted today in rush hour traffic.

A wide angle clip-on mirror is not enough, so this lady added these little square convex mirrors on each side.

Might be useful if you're in a neck brace, but she seemed to be perfectly mobile as far as neck movement. :dunno:

AHAHAHAAHAHAHA

Perfect example of someone who SHOULDNT be driving.

Its like the people that just rely on mirrors, no checking over your shoulder at all.

*Takes notes*

Going to try it. :) I wonder if it really works. I've recently tried turning my sideviews all the way out until I can't see my car in them anymore. Then I can see my entire blind spot.

I did that 10 years ago and I'll never go back to the conventional way. Feels strange at first but it's easy to get used to it.

Works so well that a full shoulder check is not needed; it's more a "deliberate look" at the sideview mirror (i.e. turn your head to look at the side mirror).

Use mirrors as a precaution but don't depend on them all the time.

I drove a 5 ton delivery truck that has no rear view mirror, barely used the side mirrors as well, usually only for backing up. Just use some common sense and pay attention to the road and don't depend soo much on mirrors. My rear view mirror in my van and car are pointed straight at the back seat to watch the kids.

I think those blind spot little sticky mirrors and wide rear view mirrors are retarded, unless you have some serious neck problems, then again you shouldn't be driving if you have those kind of injuries or disabilities.

You guys are all missing the point. It's a female...she uses the extra mirror space to put on her make-up while driving to work :poosie:
