I learned to eliminate the “blind spot” years ago when I was a cab driver.
Tilt your head to the left and adjust the mirror like usual. When setting straight it covers the “blind spot”. When changing lanes – or just checking behind you – look in the mirror then tilt your head.
Of course some people are too lazy to do it.

I think the tendency is to align the mirror so that you are looking backwards along the side of you car. You need to push the mirror out a little, but then you lose the orientation that the side of your own car provides.
