Do you have your driver seat in the gangster lean position?

I am 5'11" but I have noticed that side view mirror has the size to block out kids and dogs and anything that may come from that forward-left angle. But once you know it does that its easy enough to look around that mirror and make sure you're clear. Its not a good idea to be turning left if you know your line of sight is blocked. Stop and sit up and take a better look before turning.

You do realize that pickups and trucks have large mirrors yet I don't see them running into cars and people at every turn.

If its really an issue get a Prius they have great visibility and small mirrors for aerodynamics.
