Consumer Description

I AM UNDER 5'. THE ABILITY TO SEE USING THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, I WEAVE MY HEAD BACK AND FORTH, LOOKING THROUGH THE HIGH SEATS. HOWEVER, NIGHT DRIVING IS A TERROR! THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS--REGARDLESS OF POSITIONING, DO NOT GIVE A CLEAR VIEW OF VEHICLES OR HEADLIGHTS. FURTHER, SINCE IT IS DARK, IF A CAR IS A DARK COLOR IT CAN NOT BE SEEN! MY HUSBAND, WHO IS 5'8" DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
