Of course I knew you knew this  |
You cant see 100% with the stock mirrors or by turning your head. But by doing both you effectively remove...the blind spot. Not rocket science.
When I used to do insurance claims it boggled my mind how many ppl just dont look. They will just look at mirrors when backing up in a busy parking lot. They'll be like I looked in all my mirrors and there was nobody there! Well did you turn around and look...you know...around. Well no why would I do that!
