If your side mirrors are angled out at all, potential for a lane change fatality.

That hasn't been my experience, and I have been safely navigating SoCal/LV highways for over 14 years without any issues. If your mirrors are properly adjusted according to the SAE, you can still easily determine your lane position and see motorcycles cutting lanes without the need for fisheyes.
