J.C. Whitney used to sell various versions of electric rear window signs like this. I think Pep Boys did to. But now I cannot find them on either web site. Maybe you could find one on eBay. Or have they been banned?Purplehood wrote:I think that is a great idea (the sign). I sometimes wish I had a little electric sign that I could tap messages into and have them appear in lights across my back window. Naturally it would not be used for evil purposes.

Re: I thought it was that night
Those stick-on wide-angle mirrors you can buy most anywhere work great for seeing your blind spots. I use 1" on the driver's side mirror and 3" on the passenger side. You still need to crank your head around at night though.ClarkLZeuss wrote:Yeah, I've always adjusted my mirrors this way. When I first started driving, I remember reading my Liberty Mutual insurance/emergency packet, which included the above instructions. I thought that this was just how everyone did it. But I've learned over the years that hardly anyone does it this way.TxDrifter wrote:As for you guys and your blind spots, try this trick I read about a long time ago in a popular mechanics article. Lean your head against the driver window and then adjust the mirror on that side to where you normally adjust it looking down the side of the car. The passenger side is then adjusted the same way except your head is above the center console. Now when a car starts disappearing from your rear view on the windshield it appears in your side mirrors. Blind spot eliminated as the mirror now directly shows you everything in it. From what the article said, if I remember correctly, that was how they were originally designed to work. You might have to adjust them to back into a parking spot and it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do it makes the blind spot issue a lot less of a headache.
