Passing tips for camaro with back seat blind spots?
Just got my 2015 camaro 1LT RS but wanted suggestions/tips for whenever passing or changing lanes due to large backseat blind spots. I moved the passenger seat a little forward so I can see the rear seat right backseat window but what's the best method for checking blind spot for the driver side?

You should get the little blind spot bubble's foe your mirror's. I have them and they work perfect.

There are no blind spots if you set your mirrors correctly.

What I do is lean forward as much as I can and then check over my shoulder.

I agree with setting the mirrors correctly. I haven't had any problems with blind spots but it does take a little getting used to. Never thought about the little bubble mirrors. Those would seem to help, too.
What worries me more are right turns when there is a high curb. Those are kind of hard to see. I find myself making more of a "square" turn, or just going around the block and make a left instead, LOL. |

I take corners way wider in this car then my other car. I curbed my tires twice on the curb before doing this and ever since taking wide turns I haven't curbed my tires. It takes some getting used to but you develop a kind of 6th sense of where your wheels are after a while.

Volvo has an amber light built into the mirrors that lights up when another car is to
your left or right rear 1/4 panel. Works really well and I wish that it was on the Camaro.
