Side mirrors mounted quite a distance back from the driver's point of view?

After driving many different cars over the years, I find the 'longitudinal' positioning of the side mirrors often mean deliberate turning of the head away from the forward view when checking what's 'going on' just to the rear on the near-side lane? Particularly on the motorways, and no - I am not a ...
