A traffic officer told you that??? Really??? I’d love to have a chat with him. I can’t think I’ve heard of a more stupid piece of driving advice.
Why anyone needs to or would want to drive up the ar*e of the car in front is beyond me and I am a very progressive driver.
I bet the bonnet of his car looks like it’s been shot blasted!!!
Well if you read my comments properly rather than progressively I never mentioned anything about driving close enough to get shot blasted, there's plenty of opportunity to see peoples mirror set up when stopped behind them at lights. unless of course they have privacy glass but you can still see the wing mirrors in most cases. Bad mirrors are a pet hate of mine and generally the people with them dont use them.
The Youtube video below. 1 of many from driving instructors indicates the correct way and how they should be set. You might find it quite interesting. If your mirrors are set right your not moving your head around to see correctly.

I’m with you Shaun, and the Police officer, on mirror adjustment. It’s a bit obvious really, if you can see their eyes then they can see you.
Also agree on auto dimming mirrors. I always spec them. Regardless of tinted windows, a lot of glare comes from the door mirrors though what is only a very slightly tinted side window. And it’s worse nowadays, especially on motorways, when you have cars with matrix lights coming up behind you in an outer lane. They don’t always cut off the bit that shines into your mirrors!

My driving licences are clean. Full private car and bike. Full advanced for work etc etc.........
I would be more than happy to take you out for a spin and go over a few points. Seeing the eyes of the driver in front would definitely not be something I would be concerning myself with. Being too close to the vehicle in front at any speed or stationary I would be.
FYI............In the early 1970s, the term 'Black Rats' existed as a derogatory name for the unforgiving officers of London's Metropolitan Police Traffic Division (Traffpols); they were known to be strict and would not hesitate to report their own mother for speeding, or another officer (particularly one from the CID) for some ..........
