Isn't this why you are supposed to use both mirrors and lifesavers? I definitely use both when in a car and on a bike. There are blind spots not covered by the mirrors which is why you are supposed to do a lifesaver, and similiarly, you can see much further behind you using the mirrors. And thats my 2p worth.

Don't paint all car drivers as the same, its like saying all bikers are the same. You were the person who was considering removing your mirrors to force yourself to do more lifesavers, lets not forget.
