Agree.
Though in my country, drivers go as if they will run you over, then swerve in the last few meters. When I had a mirror, I was always on the edge of running off the road, every few hundred meters. You never know which one will not swerve. So I ended up not looking in the mirror - either that, or stop riding the bicycle.
