Clearly, you are not a driver

None, all mirror positions have blind spots. Drivers need to understand that, so your question is flawed. But here C gives the best view.

Re: Only Experienced Drivers Will Get This Right. Which Mirror Is Correct? (Photo) by Dtruthspeaker: 7:39pm On Oct 07
GoodnessMILAYO:
B is the correct answer.

Be
Correct. you be driver
Re: Only Experienced Drivers Will Get This Right. Which Mirror Is Correct? (Photo) by IjeBos(m): 7:40pm On Oct 07
A and C are the correct position. They are basically the same, the car is just in different places in the lane.
B is setup wrong.
D is impossible to set up.

Dtruthspeaker:
Correct. you be driver
Wrong. Have you ever driven a car?
The goal is to be able to see your blind spot in case you want to switch lanes.

The trick is to find the wrongest view as this view here is from the passenger's view. Whereas from the driver's view, the angle would be wrong.

So, B is the correct one because that is the view the driver needs to see the back and side.
Na oversabi always dey kill you
Where did you read that the view is the passenger's in the writeup

The mirror is not for you, it is for the driver.

Many drivers adjust their side mirrors differently, but only one option gives the correct view and reduces blind spots.

Look carefully at the pictures below.

Which mirror adjustment is correct: A, B, C or D?

Let's hear from experienced drivers, driving instructors, and road safety experts.
C

Can okada riders comment too
Re: Only Experienced Drivers Will Get This Right. Which Mirror Is Correct? (Photo) by SeeWahala: 7:45pm On Oct 07
The answer is D cool

What are you looking at your car for? undecided you are supposed to be seeing everything else possible through that mirror 🪞 so why obstruct your view with a constant (car) when variables (pedestrians, other cars, speeding okada) exist?

Where did you read that the view is the passenger's in the writeup
If you drive you would know that all those views are from the passenger's angle. Which is you are reading the images directly from the mirror, whereas, the driver is far away therefore his view of the mirror would be awkward in the eye of the passenger.

If you doubt go and see a mirror adjusted for the driver and see if as a passenger you won't bend down to see the back.

That is why B is the correct one.

Where did you get this your claim from in the writeup
Re: Only Experienced Drivers Will Get This Right. Which Mirror Is Correct? (Photo) by Oracleee: 7:53pm On Oct 07
B because of blind spot. You have the mirror inside the car to check for cars coming directly behind you.

suckprick:
Lol. I want to assume this is a joke, if not you are a disaster waiting to happen on naija road. The correct answer is A. It's impossible to see a car directly behind you on same lane through your side mirror.
I guess they thought their rearview mirror is for decoration shocked
Re: Only Experienced Drivers Will Get This Right. Which Mirror Is Correct? (Photo) by silibaba: 7:59pm On Oct 07
D is the correctly adjusted mirror. ✅
The key is that the side mirror should show very little of your own vehicle, while giving you a wide view of the adjacent lane and traffic behind you.
A: Too much of your car is visible.
B: Far too much of your car is visible.
C: Still too much of your car is visible.
D: Best adjustment — maximum view of the road with minimal vehicle body visible.
👉 Answer: D.

Check the picture view

First question is which mirror is that?
Answer: the right mirror.

Is the view not directly in front of the mirror?
Yes

In Nigeria, where does the driver sit?
Ans: the left

So, if the driver is on the far left, then his view to the left mirror is far!

B is what the mirror looks like when you are sitting in the passenger's seat while the mirror is adjusted to the convenience of the driver.

You're making an assumption that's simply not there

Dijita:

It is the other way round. In the Uk, they drive on the right hand side, and the mirror is on the right. Or do you contest that the mirror is the left mirror?
