You may not care what traffic is coming from behind 100% of the time, good for you. It's either because you don't need to because traffic is so sparse or you just don't feel a need to see everything that goes by. The first case I understand. The second requires much too much trust in cagers.

So tell me dude, little traffic, or many cars/trucks pass you that you never see coming? Which is it, it's one of the two.

And Spike, you know how wide a view a mirror gives you without turning your head, right?

Not using a mirror because you simply don't want to, that's fine. Not understanding the value of them is just plain idiocy. And the argument that I'm still alive so I must be safe is even more ludicrous.

OK...somebody can criticize my grammar now.
