I’m confident that if I were driving a Miata with the top up, the mirrors adjusted correctly, I could see all the cars around the Miata as depicted in the picture.
I’ve driven other convertibles with poor visibility with the top up, and I could spot all traffic around the convertible, in adjacent lanes, by looking in the correctly adjusted mirrors. If the surrounding cars are two lanes over, it’s more difficult.
If you only turn your head to look back, most cars have blind spots.
CORRECTLY ADJUSTED MIRRORS ALLOW SURROUNDING CARS TO BE SEEN IN THE MIRRORS, WHILE THEY MAY BE HIDDEN BY BLIND SPOTS, IF ALL YOU DO IS TURN YOUR HEAD TO LOOK BACK.
