Definitely works well. It's really funny... I went to visit my family over the summer and was allowed to use their Lincoln Town Car. My brother is exactly the same height as me, so, theoretically at least, we should see the same things while driving. I would borrow the car and adjust the mirrors, then when my brother got it the first thing he would do was look exasperated and change the mirrors back. The third or fourth time he said "Are you trying to drive me crazy?" I asked him, "Did the side of your car change in the last few blocks? 'Cause that's all you're looking at." He thinks I'm insane.
