Default Blind spot elemination idea

I was thinking today that there is a very simple solution to the problem of blind spots but I don't know where to buy this product..or if it even exists..

I installed a small rectangular convex mirror on the drivers side mirror. Now it greatly increases the field of vision.. I can look into the mirror and see everything from the rear of the car to something at a very steep angle away from me....almost beside me..

But the problem is that all the objects in this mirror are very small..and easy to miss if you don't look carefully..so here what I want and I am sure someone somewhere must know where I can find it..

If that small mirror were flat instead of curved that would solve the problem..

You could use the main mirror to see objects that were behind but not at a sharp angle and use the small mirror to see objects that were at a sharp angle from you ..and because they would be seen larger in this type of mirror they would be easy to spot with just a quick glance ..thus eliminating the problem of a concave mirror.


This might even work on the passengers side..I once installed those curved blind spot mirrors on the passengers side but realized objects were so small in it that they were nearly impossible to see. A flat blind spot mirror working along with the regular side view mirror might eliminate the problem here as well..and this is a serious one..

Anyone know where I can buy a flat blind spot mirror? I am thinking of just buying a curved one...they sell for about three dollars..and cutting a flat mirror and fitting it inside..but cutting glass is no easy thing for me..

Is a small flat blind spot mirror that sticks on the regular mirrors available?
