No Interior Seen In Mirrors?

I've already noticed this.
Would be nice to see the pixelated dust and rain fly up in your mirrors though...

You don't need perspective, you know where the edge of the mirror is in relation to your car, you don't need to see that car to know where it is. With your mirrors turned out and adjusted properly you can actually completely eliminate your blind spot. Basically turning the mirror so you can completely see the line on the outside of the lane next to you. You will be able to see any car that is in your blind spot.

This is completely correct. Turning my mirrors out has completely changed the way I drive, I never have to check my blind spot anymore because there is none.

Maybe I'll give this a try in my car tomorrow. When I was taught to drive, I was always told to have a bit of car in view. That was 15 years ago now so it'll seem weird not having the car in view I think.

Also, when I'm driving my lorry, I definately need to see the back end of that in my mirrors, just because of the sheer length of the vehicle.

Different situation requires different setup. If you are driving a lorry or with a trailer, you definitely want to see the back end of that thing.

Driving a "car" in New York, you really don't want to turn your head to check the blind spot because it's always bumper to bumper at high speed.

LOL! Yeah I can see why you wouldn't wanna take your eyes off the road over there. Fortunately, where I live is a bit more sedate so I can take a bit longer looking around.

You weren't wrong to believe that was right, it is commonly taught that way. I honestly read an article about it a while ago (wish I could find it now) that explained in a bit more detail why to turn them out. I immediately tried it and have never turned back.

Works great in my race car as well although usually I can hear the guy next to me anyway, but with my HANS on I can't turn my head around or anything.
