How about
: "I, Andrew P., believe motorists are more likely to notice people who look directly at them (eye to eye contact). That is why I think it is necessary to look over my shoulder whether or not I'm using a mirror."
I, Randy A., believe that this is a matter of opinion and would rather rely on my mirror, which I find very effective, thus eliminating the need to risk looking back at all, other than in the mirror.
IMO, if you are actually spending the time to be certain that you are making eye contact with the motorists behind you, you are not paying enough attention to the road in front of you, and you are bound to crash needlessly sooner or later...
