Looks like i'm getting some people out of the gray today due to my comment about not using your mirrors as your primary means of outward vehicular visibility.

For my primary means of outward vehicular visibility I've just been using my eyes.

True, but if you set your mirrors up properly there's really no reason to turn your head. My fiancee doesn't do this and it drives me fucking bonkers.

Some cars have wicked blind spots, so you need to turn your head in order to see everything.

In the future, the blind spot is the whole car.

I didn't use to, but now I do.

Depends on the vehicle I'm in and the blind spots it has.

I don't know about you, but my primary means of outward vehicular visibility is the windshield (and eyes)...

I heartily disagree, I have amazing visibility in the Rover and I have set up my mirrors exactly so that I can view all corners of the vehicle at all times, and yet I still managed to back into a guard bollard for a fire hydrant. Why? Because I was relying on my mirrors and visual inspection to back up out of my parking space at Whole foods while a hipster aggressively revved his Prius at me to move.

^EXACTLY What I am trying to tell these people who think backup cameras are a necessity.

Pfffffft. Watching where you're going is for n00bs.

Just drive until you hear a *thump*. That's what people mean when they talk about handling and steering feel!

It'll drive itself so it won't matter. Also, Robocop's penis.

I have this, works great. I actually found it on floor of a dealer shop, to be demoto put in a gas station.

Not my photo, but you get it.

I heavily rely on my mirrors because A) They're about the size of some windows in modern cars and B) the curtains on my sliding door made it hard to look out of the passenger side when looking back and C) looking back while I have three tons of machinery moving forward makes me nervous as hell.

Yup...there are some crazy backup camera zealots out there....

Cameras and mirrors are acceptable tools to help you but can never replace the situational awareness afforded by your full field of vision.

What do you consider primary? I would use everything at my disposal. But, I never rely solely on my mirrors. That's just dumb. If I can't look over my shoulder I won't make a lane change.

That's yet another reason why I try like hell to never drive in someone's blind spot. I know most people don't check.

EYEBALLS!!! Specifically yours! Don't go stealing peoples eyeballs and installing them on the outside of your car in the name of outward visibility!!!

Oh. Dang. What if you've already installed the questionably acquired eyeballs? Asking for a friend.

Lol, I did not condone this activity, but I might have a guy who will buy those and ship them to Estonia.....I will need a commission of 45% of each unit sold.....

What about cadaver eyeballs? How well do they work?

Hmm. Is that 45% gross or net proceeds? And does that cover your guy's cut? My, uh, friend wants to know.

Is this some sort joke about being Blind?

Use them eyeballs if you got em. Don't drive with a red tipped cane.
Seriously, my FJ had blind spots, but I've positioned my mirrors where I see 99.9% of everything around me. I still double check the lanes when moving between them though. You never know what little prius has snuck up on you.
