When positioned properly you should be able to see the side of your vehicle in side view mirror?

When positioned correctly, your side view mirror should be adjusted so that a small portion of your vehicle's side is visible, typically encompassing about a quarter of the mirror's view. This setup helps eliminate blind spots and provides a wider field of vision, allowing you to see vehicles approaching from behind or beside you. Additionally, it ensures that you have a clear view of the road and any obstacles or traffic around you. Regularly checking and adjusting the mirrors as needed enhances overall safety while driving.
