With the BGE mirror setting, what should occur when a vehicle passes?

The BGE mirror setting, which stands for Blindspot and Glare Elimination, is a technique used to adjust side mirrors to minimize blind spots and improve overall visibility. When this setting is properly applied, a vehicle that is passing should indeed appear in the sideview mirror before it completely leaves the rearview mirror. This is because the mirrors are positioned in such a way that they allow for a broader field of vision.

By adjusting the side mirrors outward, the driver can utilize the rearview mirror for directly behind them, while using the side mirrors to cover the areas that are normally blind spots. As a vehicle approaches from behind, the driver should first see it in the rearview mirror, and then as it gets closer, it will appear in the sideview mirror. This gradual transition helps ensure that the driver is aware of the passing vehicle's position, thus enhancing safety.

If the mirrors are not adjusted correctly using the BGE method, it may lead to a situation where the driver is unaware of vehicles in the blind spot or the passing vehicle's proximity, increasing the risk of collision. This technique effectively reduces instances of glare from headlights as well, contributing to safer driving at night.
