That clarifies your other post about mirrors, which I found somewhat cryptic otherwise.

If I look back when I don't have a mirror and I note a driver slowing, I'll then signal and merge in front of them (as appropriate for relative speed and noting further slowing, etc.)
Sorry about not going into more detail about the mirror comment. It seems I've posted about this specific benefits of mirror many times so it gets old to type if again and again.
