The nonsense I spoke of:
I don't wear glasses so I can't use a glasses mounted mirror.
I get distracted with too much visual information.
The mirror blocks my vision.
I'm more concerned being injured by the mirror than a car.
All I need is my hearing to keep me safe.
Mirrors are necessary in cars because they are different than bikes. The same benefits that mirrors provide in a car don't work for a bike or are not applicable to a bike.
There's plenty more to come I'm sure.
