Big mirrors

Phew!!!
Close call tonight, in a 60 plate m.a.n coming upto a roundabout in the right of 2 lanes as I want the 3rd exit, I look right, it's clear, quick check of the near side mirrors as I'm about to keep rolling, all good, then bang I anchor on the brakes before I wipe out the Astra who is on the roundabout, and who'd I'd lost in the blind spot created by these huge 1 piece mirrors!!!
Totally my fault, but shows how a split second is all it takes for it to quickly go very wrong!

I've noticed the same thing in the MAN. Not a nice feeling is it.

they are dodgy, great for rear vision, but a worry how easy it is to lose a car in one.

Does seem to be a common problem, think I read that the new Volvo has addressed the issue, we'll see!
