Ask me how I know.

It never surprises me when someone challenges the validity of the System.

Like I prefaced earlier, much too complex to adequately cover in a thread.

Case in point, when I said “scan a mirror”, it’s to prevent the driver from getting into a habit of only checking the rear view. I want all mirrors checked, but with intention, not habit.
This post seems the perfect segue into a post about the correct adjustment of the side mirrors. For many, many years, I had mine set incorrectly, which is probably how most folks set them. Then someone on the board posted something about an alternative setting that is much, much better.
