exterior rear view mirror

Hi, My wife just had a road rage incident and she was upset, to say the least, She had thought she had enough distance to pull out and over take by using her mirrors (yes you can say she should have looked over her shoulder and checked) not realizing the other vehicle was closer than she thought .I too have been caught out as well
I know this has probably been done to death here but I couldn't find anything to answer my question which is .
Is or are there alternative mirrors or glass available which will give the true distance and not a magnified one ?? Cheers Foxy

The problem with the unmagnified mirrors is that you get a much smaller field of view and hence a bigger blind spot. So in effect you end up with a bigger problem.

A standard glassier will be able to fit standard glass/mirror to it for you.

Hi ,Thank you for replying .I understand what Krypto is saying but I think the mirrors are fairly large as mirrors go ..It's that I don't want my wife to go through that again .I would rather know exactly where someone is on my right or left even if the sight view is slightly smaller .I'll talk to a glazier and see what they reckon it may cost to have them cut and fitted . Thank you. Cheers have a great New Year Foxy
