Abstract
We are just contemplating the purchase of a new car, and have been testdriving a number of competing models. A mirror fixed to the driver's door is nowadays standard equipment, and on most of the models this is attached near the front of the door, more or less in line with the hinges. But in the VW Golf it is set further back; a good feature, claimed the salesman, since it reduces the driver's “blind spot”. I confess that it was not obvious to me that this is so. If true, then perhaps it would compensate for the inconvenience of having to turn one's head further round to look in the mirror. But mathematical investigation seemed to be called for.
