I used to ride by sound alone, and even at night, determined that sound and headlights would make cars stand out long before they could catch me... I'm a much older rider now... and less bold. Come back and address us with your "It is a darn shame you can't" when you are pushing 60 or more.
While I think that mirrors are useful, it's odd that people are implying that they can entire replace
other senses. (If you can't use other senses, there's not much alternative.)
Some mirror users may actually rely on the mirror too much. It takes some practice/experience to use
any detection method.
