I learn my driving with a racing pilot and I did some racing myself in the past and the rules are different. Also, north american traffic is a litle different due to the larger streets and motorists.
If everybody thinks that the mirrors should be adjusted only the way you guys are suggesting why the manufacturers are adding a blind spot mirror attached to the old one? We don't need to see our car or our lane right?

Look at some cars, and some BMWs ( i guess only the cost stop them to make them dual and use that antiblind glass) they have dual mirrors. Ford came with another integrated mirror in the main mirror as well.

Why not just adjust them like the new "specialists" are saying? Because it is not safe, and because the seeing is different form car to car and because there are not only cars on the road.
