I bet you anything you want that a fairly simple test would show that
you have no idea by and large what's happening behind and beside you.
I'll also bet you anything you want that you would never agree to such a
test.

ALL mirrors, to include the rear view mirror (to see what's going on
behind you--through the rear window) and the side mirrors, if properly
set.

There is no way that side mirrors can show everything that's going on
behind you. And if they're showing ANYTHING that's going on behind you,
they're not at all able to show ANYTHING that's going on beside you in
your blind spot.

But you know that, because you're just trolling.
