Just wanted to see if anyone has any nifty hints or tricks to get more vision in your Ute, well out of it or whatnot, because i hate how i have to sit up and look over my shoulder like a meercat every time i need to merge lanes or get around corners that aren't 90degrees.
I know you can get the little circle mirrors that stick onto your side mirrors but are they any good at getting about more vision or?

a good looking 'spotter' in the passenger seat?

not much else you can do mate, but a hot chick in the left seat would definitely help my vision :).

@TinSnips, yeah i do try and look in my side mirrors every few seconds to keep a track on where cars are but when im in newcastle or using the freeway, merging into traffic and turning lanes is very annoying, sometimes i have to abuse my accelerator to get in, ignorant a** holes on the road that dont slow down or move over to let you in are my most annoying thing.
@ASxTECH haha not that concerned but that is a good problem solver

you should be head checking regardless.

mirrors have blindspots.

i do its just quite difficult to see cars in the 5mm or so gap that i have between my headrest and the pillars, thats why i have to turn my body half around and my head all the way around to see out the back and over my seat, hence why i started this thread to try and find an easier way then doing this, as its probably safer to wind down my window and stick my head out everytime i want to check beside me
