With a bike-mounted mirror, you're only going to see what you can see in the mirror's field of view. With the mirror attached to your head in some way, you can scan around and see a much wider field of view behind you.
Good stuff, thanks guys! Looks like I am adding another mirror to my list

Even when I drive a car I don't rely on mirrors, I use the mirrors all the time, but I also turn my head to look out windows to make sure where things are...I simply carried on that same habit with the mirror on my glasses when I ride. It's just double checking stuff.
