Wing mirror blind spot
Discussion
I've hunted for past threads but not found anything.
When I drive I put the seat right back. This means that the wing mirrors are all but useless, I can see the side of my car and directly behind me. To change lanes on the motorway I have to look right behind me ou the rear window and then lean forward to check my blindspot. I was just wondering if there are any ways of adjusting the manouvrebility (spelling?) to give me better vision?

The alternative, of course, is just to drive faster than everyone else everywhere 
It turns every overtake into a balls-out redline frenzy, just to make sure you can pull back in after overtaking even if the other car decides to nail it. And then you have to have a car-geek encyclopaedic knowledge of in-gear acceleration times to *know* that the Lotus will get past (don't assume an Exige S will get past certain Japanese marques that make funny noises
).
Not that I'd advise driving like this, of course
On the 'touring pack' type Exige S cars that have twin gas struts holding the engine cover on, the panel gap is big enough (2 cm or so) to allow a slight glimpse behind when overtaking, though it's far from ideal
