I agree and have been “attempting” to keep mirrors in place. The problem for me is the amount of backing up I do in close quarters daily with and without trailers, I need the constant rear quarter reference. With power mirrors it’s not a problem, with my other trucks w/o I get “lazy”. For some it’s always an unsafe compromise.
I cringe when ever I see some one turn their head to back up but realize that when mirrors are in the safe driving position they may be useless for backing up on many cars. You can’t be in a rush and should be taught to use your mirrors correctly, even if it means constantly adjusting them.
Good post UT. If it saves a life, you’ve done more than your share by reminding us.
