Mirror positions

I've just read an (American) article suggesting the way I set my mirrors may not be the best, see below:

I think I'll try it before I leave tonight to see how it goes.

That's the lifesaver.

No reason not to improve your field of vision using the mirrors though. I've tried it since last night and while I've not driven far, especially not on motorways/dual carriageways, I have noticed some benefit to slightly widening the angle. I'll leave it for a while and see if there is anything to report, to the good or bad.

I find that, when adjusted to show the smallest sliver of my own car, the blind spot is already eliminated.

That was how I interpreted it. If I lean back only slightly, I can see the sides of my car if necessary.
