Get a clipon mirror to eliminate the blind spot.
I know the blind spot on the passenger side is dangerous. For me, the passenger headrest completely block the rear window. I can mitigate that by moving the seat forward but i often drive with my wife so she has to move the seat back thus block the rear window.
So I got this Clip-On mirror for only $10 from Amazon. It just clipped on to the rearview mirror. And now I could see what would be the entire blind spot on the ClipOn. You should definitely try it. You don't have to buy from amazon. a good auto zone would carry it. Amazon.com: K Source RM011 18" Clip-on Wide Angle Rearview Mirror: Automotive |

If you are in a nice three piece suit that cost big bucks. Kinda like a guy using a clip on earing cuz he is afraid to get it pierced.

Old school here. They taught us to adjust mirors and turn head when turning or changing lanes and to see the big picture and know whats around you at all times. I probably look in my three mirrors every few seconds out of habit from drivers ed.

the reflection in mirror is smaller than they usually appear on factory mirrors so it kinda throws you off how far the car behind/next to you really are.
but those mirrors make a good security mirror for garages. |

+1. Everyone doesn't do this? Why wouldn't you to those who don't?

This how-to helped me drastically. I was paranoid to change lanes when I got the 370, but setting the mirrors with this method has made it very comfortable. It's a little weird at first, but it does work.
