If you have an interior rear-view mirror, your side mirrors should be pointed at the lanes next to you, not behind you. Not only does this reduce blindspots, but also overly bright headlights reflecting. When a car passes you from behind, you should see it move from the rear to the side mirrors without moving your head.

Of course, if you drive a truck or are towing a trailer, that's a different story.

Ironically, this gets harder and harder in some newer cars. My driver's side mirror reaches its limit precisely as my car (a 2018 Outback) side disappears from the view. It's unfortunate how much flexibility we've lost with these mirrors.
