Wing mirrors on cars

They're all door mirrors AFAICS.

I've turned most of that off, as it was always beeping irritatingly. And it never knew properly when to undip the headlights.

Yes, that's pretty standard these days. Must be 20 years since I've had a car without that.

Mine must work better than yours! I drive a lot of country roads and it works well.

Oh could be. Mine's a 2017 Toyota Auris. It doesn't do the auto speed limiting but does detect speed limit signs and the SatNav shows the current limit anyway.

Except they're called "wing mirrors".

We're not that stupid yet, but it'll come.

Neither do most drivers.

Why would you want to obey a little sign on the side of the road? The only time to obey the speed limit is if there's a pig ahead. Does it detect pigs?

It's the driver that uses the mirror when they're trying to park. Or do you park by the sound of tinkling glass and rending metal?

What do you drive? The Starship Enterprise?

If so you shouldn't be cross posting to alt.home.repair.

If I'm translating correctly a 'wing' is a 'fender' not a 'door'. Why do you insist on calling them wing mirrors if they are not on the frigging wings?

If you don't like our language, get one of your own.

I turn the auto-dipping off, also, since it doesn't dip soon enough and as a result you get flashed by oncoming drivers all the time.

Because he's a troll.

Those bleeping parking sensors are a Godsend.

Not much to do with d-i-y either.
