The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. The paper advocates adjusting the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of the side mirrors just overlaps that of the cabin’s rearview mirror. This can be disorienting for drivers used to seeing the flanks of their own car in the side mirrors. But when correctly positioned, the mirrors negate a car’s blind spots. This obviates the need to glance over your shoulder to safely change lanes as well as the need for an expensive blind-spot warning system. The only problem is getting used to the SAE-recommended mirror positions. The cabin’s rearview mirror is used to keep an eye on what is coming up from behind, while the outside mirrors reflect the area outside the view of the inside rearview mirror.

Wow nice Q!
I've been doing it the "traditional way" for years, will re-adjust for sure!

Thanks, Vein, glad to see the SAE got around to confirming the way I learned to set the wing mirrors. Unfortunately, I can't recall who taught me that method; I pretty much taught myself to drive in the neighborhood once my dad showed me how the clutch worked in the '70 Karmann Ghia I inherited from him .....

That's what I was suggesting earlier. Clear as mud. That is a great illustration.
