Thanks for your advice. I'll completely remove the rear view mirror
in my car as it doesn't serve any useful purpose. It was useful for
the furry dice though.


I constantly scan ALL of my mirrors at very regular intervals. To not
do so, would be foolish and not very sensible driving.

I try and anticipate and know what everything is doing around me,
especially if a **** is driving too close to my rear bumper. This
tells me to leave a bigger gap in front of me, just in case the car in
front pulls up suddenly or a kiddie runs out into the road. There's
then less chance of the **** behind me, rearending me.


Yebbut, you can leave that bigger gap anyway, and then follow the advice.



I already leave a bigger gap than most drivers do.
