So few people know how to use side mirrors...
As stated in previous posts objects should travel from peripheral to side mirror to rear mirror to side mirror to peripheral. There's no need to see your car in your mirrors as that's just overlapping with your rear-view mirror's visibility, diminishing your side visibility and creating/increasing your blind spot.

The link cooltoy posted explains this perfectly.

Granted you're likely overseas so it may be acceptable but that's illegal here in Australia. Not that it stops everyone from doing it - it doesn't give anyone else enough warning.
One of my pet peeves when driving
