My husband put tiny round mirrors on both rear view mirrors, so we don't have blind spots- though I still like to turn my head, just because it makes me feel better, but I thought it was cool they are working on this and might be marketing it. The fact that you can fix something, doesn't mean people will. But with the right marketing, and a new product, more people might be able to drive better. I can't tell you the number of times people have come over in to my lane. I drive very defensively, so I have always been able to avoid accidents- have never (knock on wood) had one. Haven't even have a ticket since I was 16 or 17- and that was my only one (knock again). But there is nothing on the road I fear more than other drivers. They do the stupidest things. Anything that makes other people better drivers is a Good Thing.

I use the little round, stick on convex mirrors you can buy in any auto parts place, stuck onto the extreme ends of the mirrors. I check them first on glancing at a mirror. I use these on my cars and motorcycles, where MY body restricts my rear-view.

From what I've read, the Feds are soon going to require a rear camera with a screen, so, it may be all moot anyway.
