What the article fails to consider is that by seeing the flanks of your own car in the side mirrors you can better judge distance; something that's very difficult in the right hand mirror.

I also take exception with the statement that by adjusting your mirrors like this you no longer have to turn your head to check your blindspots. Always double-check your blind spots.

Now I'm not saying people shouldn't adjust their mirrors like this. It makes good sense. But some people have depth perception issues and may NEED the flanks in the mirror. And what you see in the mirror should never replace common sense and what you can see with your own eyes.
