 How to use your mirrors - Pat
I certainly can't, MM
I think wing mirror position is a completely individual thing.
Certainly from a lorry drivers point of view ( no pun intended) when someone else had driven the vehicle and moved the mirrors, it can take a half a day of slight adjustments to get them back 'right' again.
What I mean by 'right' is what that individual person is used to and the view they get in relation to any potential blind spots etc.

It's also the same for the position of the seat and another bugbear for us but now I find it is just as bad in the CRV too.

I move my stance to cover the view automatically, doesn't everyone?

I prefer my mirrors set to see just along the side of the vehicle, at the neerest point to the door, so I can keep my eye on the load but also to make sure of any gap there. I find that this gives me a good view of the outside lane too but it is only my preference and it's what's safe for me.
