+1!
"Blind spot" is a myth that exists ONLY if side mirrors aren't adjusted properly. No secondary wide lense mirrors are necessary for that - regular side mirrors accomplish this when adjusted to right angles (away from the side of your car).

Once you figure it out (Google it, Car and Driver had a good article on "how to" a few yrs back - it is still on-line) you'll never have to rubber neck, or worry about not seeing what's beside your car.
An absolute must at a track!

NB Blind Spot sensors are not 100% infallible if a car behind you changes lanes fast and come up beside you very fast.
But with properly set mirrors you'll actually see them coming.

Once you adopt to new mirror settings and see what you can actually see (pun intended) you won't be able to to ever drive any car without setting the mirrors properly.

PS Why this technique isn't taught to all new/young drivers is beyond me.
