Seems to me this comment needs to be restated with emphasis.

I dd a Roadster. I have my mirrors adjusted almost all the way out on both sides. They are set with just a little bit of overlap between the edges of the rearview mirror and the insides of each side mirror. This way, when a vehicle is going out of view (moving forward relative) in either side mirror it is coming into view in my peripheral vision. I can no longer see the sides of the car, but then I know what they look like and where they are. I want to see the folks around me.

This adjustment method creates a panorama, pretty much all the way around the vehicle. There really is no blind spot. When a vehicle is only half in the edge of the rearview the other half is in the side mirror. Pretty much the same thing happens when they are moving alongside.

I have the Nav with backup camera for backing up.

I hope I've explained this well enough for it to be understandable, because I have really come to love this adjustment method.
