hehe, yeah, I know those people. Having traveled I-10 between Phoenix and LA quite a bit...those guys are REALLY annoying. I mean if you are going to pass...pass already. You obviously were going faster than me to get up on my bumper, I moved over, pass me.

There is a way to avoid blind spots though through mirror adjustments.

1) Sitting in the driver's seat, lean your head over as far to the left as you can.
2) Adjust the left mirror so that you can just barely see the side of your car.
3) Lean your head as far as you can to the right
4) Adjust the right mirror so that you can barely see the right side of your car.

This set up takes a bit of getting used to, but as you drive through traffic you will be able to see approaching cars in your rear-view mirror. As soon as they are moving out of your rear-view, they will show up in the side-mirrors of whatever side they are passing you on. As soon as they move from that mirror you can see them in your peripheral vision. No need to turn your head over your shoulder or anything, just simple eye movement to be aware of the other vehicles around you. I started doing this after hearing about it on Dennis Prager one day and it has been working like a charm. I just wish I had known about it 17 years ago when I started driving.
