Blind Spot Indicators

It may be a possibility considering the insane level of safety features on the Q50... The Z's blind spots can all be conquered with proper seat adjustment and extra caution.

But I do concur that our side mirrors are too wide and cause a blind spot. If we don't make the proper adjustments. It can be a hazardous situation.

I dunno about everyone, but I actually turn my head and move a bit to clear my blindspots when I've not paid close attention to those around me.

It does help to signal any lane changes or movements. We get a nice indicator on the side of the car for others to be warned and scream or honk at us.

We do have a blind spot.
I do the same head turning. I use convex mirrors and I doubt Nissan will address this in the Z34 Z.

Even if they did I would still be driving mine with a lessor safety level as I'm not selling over this.
