VISIBILITY - REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES - INTERIOR

 Interior rear view mirror obstructs view to the right for tall people. i've almost had 3-4 serious accidents because the rear view mirror in my 1992 toyota camry is located rather low in the passenger compartment. i'm 6'3, and when i look to the right, the rear view mirror causes a large blind spot as it is directly in my field of vision. this is especially problematic at intersections as it blocks the view of traffic coming from the right. please do a study of accidents involving tall drivers (more than 6'2 in height) and see if there is an increased number at intersections involving crashes with cars coming from the right. this applies to many different brands of cars. the solution would be some sort of adapter that would allow us to situate the mirror closer to the roof of the passenger cabin. by the way, i got to this site using google. this should be one of the options on your form for referral source. *la

 The interior rear view mirror creates a blind spot because of its size and location for tall drivers. consumer is 6 feet 3 inches tall. this causes an obstruction when driver attempts to merge over to the right/left. the driver is unable to properly see oncoming motorists. *ak
