That is the same reason I almost failed my drivers test,I even took it in my 'vert which has a small back window, So I have better chance of seeing out the side mirrors and glancing in the rear view. PLus I was taught to use the mirrors,back window does no good when you have a trailer,salter or driving a dump.

I got a 95%,got this one wrong.... 18. Which of the following is used on some highways to direct drivers into the proper lanes for turning: (Select one) ...not sure why though.

Jazz_kt one of the latest driving tips I read somewhere, it is better to use properly adjusted mirrors that the turn anround "head check." Good luck to all that are going to be taking their drivers test.
I always use the mirrors to back up, just out of habit. If I was to look back in the work truck all I'd see is bottles.

I say they have no right of way to walk out in front of a vehicle unless theres a sign telling them to!
