The driver doesn't have to turn his head to view the blind spots, but, when it rains heavily, nothing can be seen! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the eyes can focus on the front and there's no need to look at the sides excessively like now. When raining, will first of all need the wipers to be good, to have any chance to look at the mirrors lor. If wipers not fantastic, then confirmed no need to even think of how heavy is the rain, is the mirror full of water, etc.... i guess the fact that it's phased out since few decades ago, must have good reasons bah... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
