How to adjust mirrors correctly to eliminate blind spots

Blind spots when driving can be dangerous potentially leading to accidents. Here is a very easy way to correctly adjust your rear and sideview mirrors to eliminate blind spots and avoid accidents.

On the driver side, lean out of the window till the eyes are aligned with the side of the car. Then adjust the driver side sideview mirror outward till you can see just beyond the car and view in the reflection of the sideview mirror of the car just disappear.

On the passenger side, lean towards the passenger as far as possible, then adjust the driver side sideview mirror the same way, that is, till you can see just beyond the car just after the side of the car disappear in the reflection in the sideview mirror.

For the rearview mirror, just adjust the normal way. For more graphic instructions, view the video embedded below:

Review: Proton car power window lifetime warranty

According to TheStar article No more faulty windows by Isabelle Lai, Ong Kay Jen and Lee Xian, Proton offers a lifetime warranty? of its notorious power window.

However, read this: "The lifetime warranty? offers an unlimited number of free claims for any Proton model within 10 years of a customer's vehicle age or 250,000km from the car's registration date, whichever comes first."

To me, a lifetime warranty means warranty for life, that is, till the car is no longer usable. But a lifetime? warranty for 10 years or 250,000km, that is a 10 year warranty, not a lifetime warranty
