I thought you were referring to the huge blind spot in front caused by the "hockey puck" and the mirror........There is no quick fix for that one!

A hockey puck to the head usually fixes more problems than it causes.

Just go to Walmart/Target and pick up one of those small mirrors to stick on your side mirrors. I don't drive any car without it. Works like a charm....

Another bad car is the original PT Cruiser with the back seat headrests in place. I had to take them out when I drove the car.

BB. I will run out to Walmart today and have a look at what they have. The side mirrors on the car are small as is, so I will need to find a stick on not much larger than a fifty cent piece. Thanks all. A2Jack

I have a set of these on my Honda Ridgeline and they do work great and are solar powered and wire less.

To answer this question. Yes, apparently it is forbidden to turn your head in the Northern Virginia/DC area OR use your mirrors. People just turn or change lanes. I guess they figure everyone else has excellent reflexes and good breaks.
