Reply to comment by gokism in LPT: How to remove virtually all blindspots from the majority of autos. Most people “gun sight” their side mirrors which is only ok if you have convex (aka bubble) mirrors also, otherwise it leaves massive blind spots at your 4:00 and 8:00. Read on for instructions. by Sapphire580

On a multi-lane highway also be sure that the vehicle two lanes over is not trying to merge into the same lane as you are. Mirrors don’t help that situation.

This is a common issue in, for some reason, just the southwest quadrant of my local beltway. If you try to merge left, some one behind you and further left will see that your blinker is on and move to be in your way before you can complete the merge. Other areas have their own quirks but in that section everyone thinks it's Mad Max time, and using your blinker is giving information to the enemy.
