I had two mirrors, but that doesn't help if the car stops in front of you. Besides, what if I saw from the mirrors there are cars coming both directly behind me and on the left lane? I'd have nowhere to go.
I think these drivers don't treat bikes as something important. Had I been a car, the driver would not stop suddenly before me. He knew that I wouldn't injure
him if I hit the rear of his car.
