Driving on highway at 70 mph when I nearly caused a collision because I encroached on another car's space in the next lane to my left. I believe this was due to the fact that the Cla250 driver side mirror does not adequately cover the blind spot and does not provide safe and effective view of the left lane. The mirror is adjusted all the way out but can only see the quarter panel of the Cla250. During my near-collision, I did physically turn my head and shoulders to view the traffic on the left lane (three lane highway). It was clear. As I was about to switch into the lane 2 seconds later, another care was already in the space that the Cla250 side mirror did not give me a second opportunity to view. I believe this is a defect in design and presents a hazardous condition.
