whats behind you is losing, doesn't matter.

Indeed renders the rear view mirror...pointless....therein making the side (or wing compensation) mirrors crucial....

Found that like many things....one adapts.

Except every now and then....i look back and see the boys in blue..just hovering behind me...that is ....disconcerting.

I really have let go of the fact that I need a rear view mirror, the side mirrors are much more helpful but I find myself ducking and diving throughout the drive to look in the rear view from different angles. I guess I think I can trick the Wing if I look at it through different angles.

This... You'll adapt soon enough. Just have to unteach yourself to use the rear view so to speak...

David letterman said you are in a sports car. There's no reason to look back. You accelerate to change lanes not decelerate.
