Final answer:

False, side mirrors should be adjusted so that the vehicle's sides are not visible to the driver. This setting is essential to minimize blind spots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. When seated upright in the driver's seat, you should adjust your side mirrors so that you cannot see the side of your vehicle. Properly adjusted side mirrors will minimize blind spots and help the driver to detect vehicles that would otherwise not be visible in the side mirrors. This is unlike the principle where a concave or diverging lens can form an upright image where only part of the lens can still form the image, as side mirrors in vehicles serve a different purpose for safety and visibility.
