I stopped using it. I didn't find it useful, or hindi lang ako marunong gumamit.

Sakin nakalagay sa lower left (driver side) tapos yung curve nya pababa para kita yung nasa kalsada (like parking slot lines) which you would not see normally with your side mirror only.

I would beg to disagree.

It is not standard in Europe (or any other country) to include a stick-on convex mirror to your side mirrors.

However, for most vehicles, it is standard to have the side mirror in the nearside (passenger side) to be convex already to include more images in the mirror. In comparison, the driver's side mirror is flat and not curved. That's why in US & Europe, the words "Objects in the Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear" are indicated in the passenger side mirror.

Actually, if you aim your side mirror properly you wouldn't need an additional convex mirror to help you park or eliminate blind spots. I've noticed that most drivers would tend to aim their mirrors upwards and towards their vehicles eating up to 1/4th of the whole mirror.

Did i mention a stick on convex mirror?FYI,here in the US convex mirrors are not standard,I havent seen one.thats why they put the wordings"objects in the mirror are close.."because the side view passenger mirror is not convex.And in Europoe they don't put the words "objects..." in passenger side mirror
