Just in case the one time I tried I didn't give it enough time... That was well over 20 years ago
My vision is somewhat impaired in my left eye, and I have little more than peripheral vision. Has anyone used a helmet mounted mirror with similar issues?
My right eye is fine, is the angle of vision to the rear good enough that riding on the right side of the lane I could effectively use it on the right side of the helmet?
By the way, in my opinion, whether in a car or on a bike, one should NEVER trust their mirror so much that they don't glane to the side before moving over or turning... even a helmet mirror.
Also, once in a while when I am in a small car, I find myself having to shift my head to see everything in front of me ecause the rear view mirror obstructs part of my view. How is this with a helmet mounted mirror?
Also, is the vertical field of vision good enough to work well whether on the flats or in the drops?
Sitting here "experimenting" with a CD in place of a mirror, I think I might try them again. I could probably see well enough to know there is a car there, just not well enough to read the license plate or tell the model...
Is it pretty easy to get the mounting point right?
