I brought them in a little so it was about half way between what I was accustomed to and the way he said to do it. I think I am getting used to it.

Not seeing ANY of your own car in them feels more dangerous at least to me because you can't really see where someone is at in relation to your own car. That's not to say half your mirror should be taken up by your own car, but a sliver of it for that purpose. As it is, I can usually look at the mirrors at a different angle to see the blind spot anyways. There's enough idiots on the road that I usually look at them normally, look at the different angle, then look over my shoulder before I change lanes anyways.
