I've got teardrops on my rhd C2, which were on it when I got it.
I've noticed that I've got a bit of a blind spot on the drivers side occasionally and after a scare, religiously double check now. Sometime you don't realise there is a blind spot until a near miss![Frown](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
While in slow traffic the other day I realised that it looks like the passenger side mirror has a wide angle of view compared to the drivers. Anyone else noticed this and could I get a similar mirror for the drivers side that would probably eliminate the problem.

Here is a link to convex mirrors for both sides, however if you put it on the drivers side objects may appear smaller than they actually are.

Proper adjusted, there should be very little blind spot, even with a 964.
The first thing that is taught at a DE is correct seating position, mirror postion, and hand position -- it is not all as obvious as it sounds.

Amen on the mirror adjustment procedure. I do mine as recommended, and I drive on the Atlanta downtown connector each day to work. I confirm proper adjustment by watching a car I just passed. As soon as proper adjustment is confirmed, I change lanes without looking over the shoulder. No problems, and I have been doing it that way for years.
