Guys, please tell me how do you drive with such left mirrors?) All our cars that come from the USA have an aspherical right mirror and a spherical left one. As a result, there is a very large dead zone in the left mirror, in which a car the size of a Tuareg can hide. As a rule, we immediately change such mirrors. and see how soon it becomes more visible in it)))

no probelm here, adjust mirror properly, use eye's, turn and look if need be.
* pro tip if you move your head you can see even in the blind spot, your view is only limited by where you are looking
passenger mirror is made aspherical because you cannot really move just your head to see the entire view, hence the passenger side view is enlarged.

There are different situations, for example, when I'm driving in the second row and someone brakes sharply in front, I have to see that the left is clean, and not peer into the yellow lights, or when you go out on the highway, then accelerating you go two lanes to the left .. And the control of dead zones does not work there

Look over your shoulder to see what is there...and just pay attention to the yellow light on the mirror which electronically tells you if the radar picks up a vehicle in the blind spot!
The problem is that when I look over my shoulder to the right, I take my eyes off the road in front. It's not safe. Such mirrors make you turn your head. Now I control everything around the car, moving only my eyes))
