    Effective on speedways. But i need to re-adjust pag reverse/parking.

    This is not for our environment. Pag highway naman, i often look around my mirrors kahit di liliko. So ganun rin. Ok pag malikot ang mata. Mas safe

    I had my mirrors set like that for years. But that was mostly freeway driving sa US. It took a month or two to get used to it but once I did I found if more effective. You have to get used to looking at the right edge of your rear view mirror plus the right side mirror, or the left edge of the rear view plus the left side mirror.

    For bumper to bumper driving in Metro Manila, it can work din siguro but will take a lot more getting used to. The separation distance between cars is much smaller but the travel speeds are slower.

    try niyo apply itong sequence for changing lane, effective ito. Mirror -> Signal-> Quick BS check(pisikal na lilingon) -> change lane -> cancel signal.
