Hello to all,

This one is an offshoot of a thread that started in the S2000 forum but became more appropriate for this forum.

I put together this poll to, once and for all, settle the blind spot discussions we've had for years. These are all the solutions that people have mentioned so far. I hope I didn't miss anything.

Note the keywords: "Safest" and "Most Effective" when you choose your horse. Also, call you bookie before poll ends.

Cheers!

 

You could have combined the "shoulder check", "set mirrors wide" and "convex driver's side mirror" as a single option. No one thing should be the end all, be all. But the combination of the three would be "safest" and "most effective".

 

 

The single safest way is to turn your head and look, but make sure there isn't a car in front of you at that point.

 

Thus, the "2 second" rule.

 

None of those really applies to some old people, who would change lanes without using any of those, and who almost hit me several times by doing such.

 

Scheduling my "Chameleon-plasty" as we speak.

 

put the top down

 

I have had a two inch convex stick on mirror on each side on ALL of my cars for the past 15 years. Best blind spot eliminator there is IMO.

 

Then again, does anyone know how to properly adjust their mirrors anymore? I've never had a problem with blindspots with the top up, but I do what xviper has suggested.
