   In case readers aren't familiar with it, this - 'BGE'(blindzone-glare-elim.) -   
   is    
   how Wally, and I myself, set up our sideview mirrors:

   However, most state DMV driving testers go by the books, which require    
   at least a quick turn of the head before lane changes or turns, regardless   
   of how you set your side mirrors.
