Terry,
I never suggested that the blind spot caused by the rear view mirror caused me a problem! But I have just had to take an extensive fields tests to show that I had a complete field of vision. They would not even tell me how many dots I could miss and still pass. I am just pointing out that there are three unavoidable blind spots when driving most cars, (Unless you are in a completely open one! They could quite easily have a car simulator for testing field of vision, but that would be too expensive for them, I suppose!
Not that it concerns me for the next three years. If during that time, my sight deteriorates, I will know myself, and stop driving without someone at Specsavers telling me (and the hospital) what I can or can't see!
