This is how I teach my pupils to set their mirror. Great video, just confirms all my teaching.

I have struggled with perceiving how far cars are from behind especially when changing lanes on dual carriage ways, leading to undue hesitation during my recent test (which I failed) Thanks for this great tip

I don't waste 20% of my mirror surface, seeing my own car, as I know it is there 😂 and instead turn the mirrors further out, to cover more of what is on the side of the car

That is my feeling as well, if my door handles are no longer following me I have bigger issues to worry about.

@@gerhardk98 Very true and after I have been driving for many years, I have so far never lost a door handle or experienced one not following me ;-)

Better one, if you see the car in your inside mirror than you can pull in front of him.

@fromnarasimha 3 месяца назад

I will try in my car. I always set passenger door handle . When i set driver handle view in the mirror not great .

@thesinofthetin Месяц назад

This is NOT how the SAE recommends us to adjust our mirrors. As long as you have good visibility in your rear view mirror, you DO NOT need to have your wing mirrors so angled inwards. You can angle them outwards more to cover your blindspots.

It's a bit frustrating not to see how the van doesn't drive along your cars side and passes by.

@Jeffrey_Lew 3 месяца назад

In the US, the driver-side mirror is not convex, so setting it up so the side of the car is visible in the mirror results in the same view as the inside rearview mirror, and a car in the driver-side blindspot (the "X" zone in this video) is not visible in the mirror. Instead of duplicating the inside mirror view, set up the driver-side mirror to start approximately where the inside mirror view ends. You can get this by leaning over and pressing your cheek against the driver-side window, then setting what you can see in the outside mirror to just be seeing the side of your car. Then sit normally in the seat and adjust the mirror only in the vertical direction so the view is leveled down the road.

@christopher135 3 месяца назад

Strongly disagree. There is no need to see the side of your car in your side mirrors. A wider angle, allowing greater vision of the lane/s beside is far more beneficial than checking out your paintwork.

@DriverTrainingLtd 3 месяца назад

Hiya remember that the side mirrors make things look further away and smaller than they actually are. So without your car for reference you wouldn’t be able to tell if they’re alongside you - going away from you - or heading towards you Also the dvsa book Driving the essential skills also recommends to do it this way.

@christopher135 3 месяца назад

@@DriverTrainingLtd the mirror distortion can be compensated for with experience. With my mirror setup, I can maintain constant visual contact with a vehicle from my rear view mirror, to the side mirror, to my physical eyesight. There is a single sliver of blind spot behind my C-pillar on the left side (left hand driving country), which is easily covered by either shoulder checking or manoeuvring my head slightly to get a different angle on the mirror. And with all due respect to the DVSA, the ambulance service who trained me taught a different method to the DVSA.

@VoidHybrid 3 месяца назад

@@christopher135 Yep, taught to have basically a third of your mirror showing your car in school, and be able to see the ground by your back tire so you can line up for parking in parking spots. I realized this is dumb and limits your visibility drastically, and now always set my mirrors out until you can just barely no longer see your own car. Allows for a much easier time seeing traffic around you. When to change lanes or not is something you learn from experience and by using your mirror and looking before changing, not something I'm going to learn from a specific mirror position.

@SibaNL 3 месяца назад

I set them as wide as possible while still seeing just a small bit of the sides. The horizon on the top third of the mirror, no need to be watching the sky.

@jacquelinebrunder2384 Месяц назад

You do not need to see the side of the car you need to see traffic and importantly children playing around a car and the best view of both of those is to set the mirrors so you only just can't see the side of the car.

@DriverTrainingLtd Месяц назад

If you can't see the side of the car then how do you judge how close the vehicles at the side of you are? Looking in the side mirrors makes vehicles look further away than they actually are, so if you don't have a reference point (the edge of the car) there is no way you can safely judge the gap - If you can see children playing in your mirror and i presume you mean when reversing - as going forward is of no worry, as they are behind you - then again how can you tell whether you are close to them or not?
