I agree with the premise that put the reminder there is my contention that the red tape that got it there is greatly hampering future improvement hence my harsh terms like asinine.

There for sure was a transition in time where a warning could have been necessary when "all the cars" that even had the OPTIONAL passenger side mirror went from planar to convex but that time in history passed roughly 50 years ago.

Maybe it's just being not average intelligence but things like that message are a constant reminder to me that *somebody* must be pretty not smart to keep an obvious as the sun is in the sky duh like things are smaller in a convex mirror.

In my opinion: that you do or don't already know that before you sit behind a steering wheel is a disqualifying test of ability and understanding. This is the engine that drives my discontent.

Don't get me started on people that don't instinctively KNOW that you don't put a baby seat backwards behind an air bag and now every car gets defaced with a "some people are idiots so now all cars get to be defaced with a horribly ugly sticker". It's a similar line of reasoning that bothers me about the "are you clueless" messages on the mirrors.
