mirror-signal-life saver-manoeuvre.

your only doing the life saver to see if there is a vehicle in your blind spot not too see whats behind you, thats what mirrors are for. if your mirrors are positioned right your life saver should only be between your back wheel and behind your peripheral vision. or do what i do in heavy traffic and turn the mirrors out a little more so they are seeing more of the lane next to me. i also check my mirrors every 10 sec or so to keep an eye on what the traffic is doing behind me. its as much rear observation as front observation that keeps you safe.
