I’ve seen them called “Stop Lines”, “Balk Line”, etc. The thick line painted on the road at a Stop Sign.
You’re supposed to stop before the line, but a lot of the time there’s a bush or other obstruction so you can’t see any crossing traffic. You have to creep forward until you can see anything.
Is there a reason for this? Is it done on purpose? It makes sense if there’s a crosswalk or something, but I see it a lot where there shouldn’t be any pedestrian activity.
No there’s literally no angle you can set your mirrors and still see. And if you find an angle you can see at that mirror will be useless 99% of the time you’re driving

This is how I have my mirrors, but my wife likes to see the side of her vehicle which for some reason is how it was taught when I was a kid.
She doesn’t believe that I can watch a car approach in the rear view, see it transition to the side and there’s a point I can see it in both at the same time, then transition to seeing it in my peripheral vision and the side mirror.
Something like 90% of people don’t realize they have their mirrors positioned incorrectly.
