    Where did I say they are practically mandatory. I just said what they are good for.

    Its not supposed to make you "safer". Although I cant imagine why someone would react so harshly to something that does help to reduce blindspots.

    Well, I think Mr. Faulk's last sentence, in red, to be readily noticed, sorta said it all.:biggrin_25513:

    Ah, anything new will be rejected by some, even me. I hate the new square fender mirrors. Now that's ugly.

    When I got my new truck Jan 09, the first thing I did was replace the fender mirror with the old style. That's just because that's what I was use to.

    The first truck I had was a old FLD with 2 mirrors. Then I got a 94 FLD Condo with 2 fender mirrors. I loved the view from the truck plus the other advantages.

    To each his own.

    Ya, I don't care too much for the square ones either. But, if it's a company truck, I'll take them over nothing.:biggrin_25525:

    What I don't understand is how some people can get so worked up over something as trivial as a driver's preference for a particular mirror. For gosh sakes, it is just another "tool of the trade," if someone chooses to have it. . .:biggrin_25513:
     
    corneileous and johnday Thank this.
