Foward vision obscured by mirriors. Clarifying previous thread

That mirror will completely obstruct your left field of view at stop signs and such if you are short. Even entire cars...let alone a poor pedestrian. You need to fix it before you someone...or worse, your car!

Phone books won't be in print forever ya know. Unbolt the seat and take a peek under it. Get some spacers, use a hockey puck...whatever. Or get different mirrors. The OEM ones are too big anyway. They don't need to be that high from top to bottom, and reducing that height has zero to do with blind spots, which will be because of the side to side angle.

My personal solution? I only move my car when I'm sure I'm not gonna hit stuff. Try it, I really like the results so far.
