Going into a garage, you're right, "if the mirrors fit so will the fenders" not always true in "the real world".....

Yeah... I guess you have to have a modicum of depth perception for it to work.
But I can easily say that I've never hit a gas/diesel island bumper or bank lane or toll booth in few hundred thousand miles in a dually..
I have however, hit an overpass with an 18 wheeler trailer.. We were 13' 6" and the sign said 13' 8".... it lied
Oh yeah.. I backed into a sign pole once in a 16 passenger van... creased the back door in about 6" ... but that was my temper's fault...
