I don't understand the argument that helmet mounted mirrors are the best based on the fact that bike mounted mirrors vibrate more, because it ignores the third option... glasses mounted mirrors, which vibrate even less. I also use the Bike Peddler Take-A-Look, and recommend it strongly.

If this claim is supposed to apply to eyeglass mounted mirrors as well as to helmet mounted mirrors (and I don't see why it wouldn't be), it's hokum.
According to the procedure outlined in
this document, and excerpted below, I am right eye dominant, yet I have no problem using an eyeglass mirror.
Takes a few days to get used to it, but then it becomes second nature, and you really miss it when riding without it.
WARNING: never rely only solely on a mirror check prior to make a lateral move; ALWAYS look back over your shoulder before making any lateral move (beyond a few inches, perhaps) while cycling on the roadway.
