That logic falls apart when someone is faster than you, whether you want them to be or not!

Solution to that aren't mirrors, but a faster car...

True solutions fix the problem at the core and don't put bandages on the problem (like mirrors)

I'd like to know, too. I end up taking my eyes off the action ahead of me when I'm trying to merge into the right lane, and I'm afraid one of these days I'm going to rear-end someone.
