Folding mirrors

For those with folding mirrors, I am sure I read somewhere on here that the mirrors fold in when going at speed?

If that is is the case, what about motorway driving? Surely that is the time when doing the highest speed and needing the mirrors the most?

Perhaps I just imagined the whole concept?

Thanks

you can fold them on the move, not tested what speed up to

What, automatically? not true, and if they did VW would need their heads seeing to!

I can confirm this is definitely not the case, I've not tried folding them using the button at those speeds and I'm not going to, but they certainly don't fold in by themselves at high speeds.

I wonder if you get to maybe 100 if they just pinch in a little to reduce resistance up to the vmax rather than folding completely.
