Adjusting side view mirrors
Our local news station ran This story on how to properly adjust your vehicles mirrors a few days ago. I thought it was worth the share. Thanks! Jeremiah

I set my mirrors so I can see the very edge of the side of the car.
Why do you always need to see the sides of your own car? They don't change with respect to the driver's field of view.
The goal of the OP's listed method is to maximize viewing area using all 3 mirrors. You also want a continuous flow of the object as seen in the 3 mirrors as it passes perpendicular to the rear of your vehicle. Why would you need to see the same object in more than one mirror at a time?
How can you tell the relationship of the car in the mirror against your car?
You know based on what your new field of view is. If you are used to one method, the other just takes some experience and practice.
Nope! Mine are set properly! I can see everything just fine! I have never cut anyone off.
Properly is an opinion, one that difference from mine. Everything is false as your field of view is smaller than how mine are adjusted. The last statement is pure luck! :p
