Adjust the outside mirror to center on the adjacent lane of
traffic, with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.

the vehicle. This type of mirror will give a much wider
view to the rear, and especially of the lane next to your

than they really are. Relying too much on your right
