If it's mounted to the stem how do you see behind you? Wouldn't your body be blocking the view backwards?

I have been thinking of getting a mirror but having it out to the sides too far makes it a non starter as I run into bushes and low hanging tree branches enough that it would get thwacked off. (I'm not a crappy rider. I just have a lot of growth along the sides of my commute and sometimes I can't avoid it)

If your way works somehow it's perfect for me.
